The EU wants an end to licensing of telecom operators

The European Union and the United States have adopted 10 principles designed to "promote the development of international networks and services based on ICT and [to] enable all providers of these services to participate in tenders in equal conditions of competition that local providers. "One of the principles announced the end of expensive licenses for telecom network operators.

According to the EU, in effect compulsory licensing in a number of countries promote local businesses. The EU would prefer to replace them with a simplified approval would facilitate the entry of foreign firms in domestic markets. The simplified procedures for such approval are not detailed.

With this set of principles (which have so far no legislative force), the EU and the U.S. will weigh in regulations adopted by the WTO and the expansion of their businesses in emerging markets. But implementation of these principles could also have consequences in France, for example, the licensing and future 4G.
