A coalition of smaller telecom providers, including Vodafone, Iliad, and 1&1, warns of a potential re-monopolization in the European telecom market due to proposed EU regulations. These companies argue that relaxed regulations could distort competition, leading to higher prices and fewer consumer choices. The European Commission faces challenges in balancing competition and innovation, with critics claiming these proposals contradict EU competition principles and threaten fiber optic broadband expansion. The coalition insists on maintaining existing laws that ensure market leaders grant infrastructure access to competitors under fixed conditions.
