Internet service providers must also post on their websites by January 1, 2012 a procedure to measure quality parameters, Marinescu said at an event organized by the Cable Communications Association.
According to Marinescu, ANCOM will implement in the last quarter of next year a project aimed to measure technical parameters regarding Internet access quality. The communications regulator also wants to define a series of quality parameters for end users targeting TV program retransmission, added Marinescu.
He said ANCOM will make sure communications service providers will properly inform clients about the services they offer.
Marinescu highlighted that a key objective included in ANCOM’s 2012 action plan is the communications infrastructure bill, which is pending approval in the Chamber of Deputies’ committee for legal matters.
Communications Minister Valerian Vreme, also present at the event, said he hopes the bill will be adopted in at most two months.
“Also, the draft emergency ordinance on shifting to digital television will be soon sent to Parliament,” said the minister, adding that the document is currently at the Finance Ministry, pending approval.
He added that a financing contract to implement the plan on developing broadband Internet infrastructure in disadvantaged areas, which will be financed with non-reimbursable EU funds amounting to EUR84 million, will be signed next year.
