The Latvian regulator said the meeting had discussed regulation of interconnection services and tariffs, cost structure of fixed-line and mobile telephony services, liberalization of new telecommunications markets, promotion of competition and development of new electronic communications services, etc.
Baltic states’ regulators said they were committed to further cooperation between themselves and with other regulators in neighboring regions as well as with the Independent Regulator Group and the European Commission’s European Regulator Group.
