MEPs clarify that a national regulator may impose functional separation on telecom operators - i.e. require them to create a separate business unit for network services which operates independently from the content services the operator offers - only as "an exceptional measure" to ensure that all undertakings can have access to network services on equal terms.
Lai nodrošinātu vienādus konkurences nosacījumus, deputāti ierosina, ka nacionālais regulators varētu prasīt telekomunikāciju uzņēmumiem veikt funkciju nošķiršanu — nodalīt tīkla infrastruktūras pārvaldi no citiem pakalpojumiem.
