Broadband Quality of Service Framework - Amendment to the current Framework

The MCA is publishing for consultation its proposal to update the current Broadband QoS Framework. The main points presented in the document are: a) Extend the scope of the Framework Decision to all broadband services which are inherently of a fixed nature due to the technology used to deliver them or by virtue of marketing and/or product positioning strategies employed by the providers; b) Provide an exemption mechanism in specific circumstances, where either the technology in use, or its setup, might restrict the operator from exerting a level of control on the network performance and hence impacting the QoS experience of the end-user. The consultation process end on 8th August 2015.
