Notice for the launch of the public consultations on Draft Report on Enabling the Internet of Things

During its 24th plenary meeting (1-2 October 2015, Riga) BEREC approved for public consultation the draft Report on the Enabling the Internet of Things.
This document gives BEREC’s survey and assessment of the state of play on M2M services with the perspective of fostering an environment that will result in sustainable competition, interoperability of electronic communications services and consumer benefits. It is aimed at presenting the most common M2M characteristics and assessing whether M2M services might require special treatment with regard to current and potential future regulatory issues. Some suggestions by BEREC addressed to NRAs – where possible – are included on how to deal with them.
The public consultation on the draft document will run from 5 October until 6 November, 2015.
Stakeholders are invited to send their contributions to: [email protected]. Please provide your contribution in a Word document, preferably in English, in order to speed up the processing.

The draft document will be presented also to the 3rd BEREC Stakeholder Forum Meeting to take place on 15 October 2015 in Brussels.
The role of the public consultation is to increase transparency and to provide BEREC with valuable feedback from all interested parties. In accordance with the BEREC’s policy on public consultations, BEREC will publish a report summarising how stakeholders’ views have been taken into account. In addition, BEREC will also publish all individual contributions on its website, taking into account stakeholders’ requests for confidentiality, which should be clearly indicated in the contributions submitted (if any).
