All operators that deploy fibre inside buildings are included in the measures imposed by
CMT.
7 National next generation broadband initiatives/ measures
� Illustrate the main content of initiatives/measures aiming at promoting next generation
broadband. 7 Consider the following aspects:
- Main focus of the initiative/measure (e.g. providing broadband in currently underserved
areas; outlining the regulatory approach towards NGAs networks in order to provide
legal certainty and planning security for operators; providing transparency );
Common Telecommunications Infrastructures in buildings: ensure that new buildings are
equipped with specific infrastructure for telecommunications infrastructure, including that
related with NGAs.
Draft regulation on infrastructures in new roads and railways: facilitate the deployment of
telecommunications infrastructure in new roads and railways.
Public Aid to support NGA and Broadband Deployments: state aid programme to support
the deployment of high speed broadband networks in “white areas.”
- Scope and envisaged target of the measure;
Common Telecommunications: In 1998 Spain adopted a regulation guaranteeing that any
new multi-dwelling building will be equipped with a Common Telecommunications
Infrastructure. The specification of the minimum technical requirements for all these
elements was reviewed in 2003, and now a new revision is underway to take account of
the evolution of networks and services (i.e. NGAs and DTT). To that end, a new Decree is
being drafted to include provisions regarding:
� The inclusion in new buildings of specific infrastructures (ducts) according to the
access networks (i.e. cable, fibre, copper) existing in the area where the building is
located.
� In case of fibre, two individual fibres shall link the lower cabinet with each apartment
� The in-house wiring will be replaced by structured cabling, so to improve the
bandwidth available in each household.
7 This may be initiatives/measures adopted by the government. Where appropriate you may also
refer to NRAs’ strategies aiming at the promotion of next generation broadband.
