To take account of data protection, infrastructure operators can classify data as sensitive.
In this case, BNetzA will submit requests to the infrastructure operators who will then
decide whether/to what extent BNetzA may pass on these data.
- How are business secrets dealt with?
BNetzA ensures that unauthorised parties cannot access the data.
- If relevant, elaborate on practical experiences in your country with such databases.
Did this tool contribute to a more efficient provision of broadband services, in particular
in “white” areas? Did any practical problems occur when establishing/running the
database? (Note: this information may be helpful for other NRAs when setting up
similar databases)
At present, it is too early to make such an assessment.
- What are the set-up and running costs of the database, and who pays for them? Were
the costs shared out based on agreements or formal obligations?
Not yet possible to answer this question.
