Abstract
The European Commission's proposal to build a single market for electronic communications will require a significant reform of the European telecommunications sector. The two most contentious elements of the proposed legislation are the abolition of roaming surcharges and the measures to guarantee network neutrality. The proposal seems to offer substantial benefits, particularly to young Europeans, in terms of communications, connectivity and mobility, as well as with regard to increased job opportunities, especially in the growing Internet economy. Nonetheless, a considerable obstacle to the creation of a genuine telecoms single market is the existing regulatory fragmentation into 28 separate national telecommunications markets, as well as the unattractive investment climate for network operators.
