focused into the timely implementation
of the “Strategy on the transferral of the
analogue broadcasts into numerical
ones”. Based on Law No. 97/2013, ”On the
Audio-Visual Media”, the Authority of the
Audio-Visual Media played an important
role in the release of the Digital Divident and
its utilization for the purposses of the broadband services.
ICT infrastructure development for fast and
super fast broadband requires the establishment of the neccessary resources for
the radio spectrum, as a limited natural resource. Thus, there is a need to draft a clear
spectrum policy to stimulate the longterm
investments in the NGN networks. The
perspective for development of the electronic communications sector, the developments of the broadband mobile
networks of 4G generation, require a harmonized integrated development of the electronic communications infrastructure.
Joint investments, joint utilizations and
addressing the right of transferral for the
electronic communications networks remain issues that require a speedy solution.
The wide development of electronic services in general and the increase of demand
for them, also require the development of
optic fibre cable infrastructure in the whole
of the country.
