”INTERNET .RO – HEADING WHERE?” Conference

ANISP participated in the conference ”INTERNET .RO HEADING WHERE IN AI TIMES? – How can Romania return to the global Internet top?”, which took place today, September 18, 2024 at the Grand Continental Hotel in Bucharest.

In the framework of the theme “Digital Transformation Challenges for the Internet Industry in Romania in AI times – Investments, Regulations and Innovation – Analysis of the Internet Industry in Romania, opportunities and challenges” the representatives of ANISP took the floor.

Mr. Adrian Popa, president of ANISP, emphasized the need to treat the infrastructure needed for electronic communications services according to the model of the infrastructure needed for utilities (electricity, water, gas), considering the simplified authorization / construction / intervention regime for these networks.

Mr. Tiberiu Gîndu, ANISP executive director, presented ANISP’s arguments in favor of regulating IP peering with dominant operators that tend towards “abuse of dominant position” behavior, as well as for regulating access to their infrastructure, according to the LLU (local loop unbundling) model already experienced at the level of the European Union.
