3.3. Sharing of internal communications lines in residential buildings with multiple apartments Problem Identification The placement of internal communications lines and conditions for sharing the electronic communications infrastructure inside residential buildings with multiple apartments was regulated in Act No. 194/2017 Coll., on measures to reduce the cost of development of high-speed electronic communications networks. However, the technical implementation of sharing of electronic communications networks inside such buildings have not yet been adequately reflected in the relevant technical standards, thereby preventing its proper application. To increase awareness of the relevant regulation into the application practice, we must also increase awareness among the actors concerned. By removing the identified problem, the impacts on third-party property (i.e. owners of residential buildings with multiple apartments) that would otherwise arise from the duplication of physical infrastructure inside such buildings in the context of the upcoming development of electronic communications will be minimized. Proposed Measures Measure A To verify an option to introduce any necessary standard-setting documents into the ČSN system of standards that will address the placement of internal communications lines and conditions of any potential sharing of physical infrastructure in residential house with multiple apartments from technical point-of-view. Measure B To increase awareness among designers who are members of the Czech Chamber of Authorized Engineers and Engineers Active in the Construction and Czech Chamber of Architects and among developers of the conditions for the placement of electronic communications lines inside residential buildings with multiple apartments and of the benefits of sharing such electronic communications lines.
