Romania consults on public access tariffs for operators

Romania's telecoms authority, Ancom, has opened a consultation on a draft decision for setting the maximum tariffs to be charged on operators exercising the right of access to state-owned public property, notes Telecompaper. “Ancom said it has received documents on the conditions under which access to public property is exercised from 1,307 public administration authorities (local and county councils).
