Romania's telecommunications authority Ancom opened a public consultation on a draft decision for setting the maximum tariffs to be charged for the communications operators’ exercising the right of access on, over, in or under state-owned public property, according Telecompaper. Ancom said it so far received documents on the conditions under which access to public property is exercised from 1,307 public administration authorities (local and county councils).
The analysis of the available documents has shown that tariffs and charging mechanisms differ from one locality to another, featuring sometimes major differences. For example, the annual tariffs for the installation of communications network equipment on the public property situated within city/village boundaries are between RON 3 and RON 360 per square metre, while the monthly tariff for a public property pillar located in a commune ranges between RON 5 and RON 100.The calculation methodology and the level of the tariffs were established by Ancom with the support of the joint venture KPMG Advisory - KPMG Romania.
