New EU action for Open Network Provision (ONP) in voice telephony

This procedure concerns the need for the European Community to establish an open network provider (ONP) for voice telephony. The goal is to ensure that telecommunications infrastructure remains accessible and open, preventing monopolies and promoting fair competition within the voice calling sector.

This affects telecommunications operators and consumers across the EU. It aims to change how voice networks are managed to ensure better interoperability and lower barriers for new service providers.
