Draft BEREC Guidelines on the access to in-building infrastructure according to Article 11(6) of the Gigabit Infrastructure Act

On 23 February 2023, the European Commission (EC) published its legislative proposal for a Gigabit Infrastructure Act (GIA), which will repeal the BCRD. The GIA aims at facilitating and stimulating the roll-out of very high capacity networks (VHCNs) so that such networks can be rolled out faster and at a lower cost, in particular given a growing demand for faster, more reliable data intensive connectivity and as an important tool to achieve the 2030 EU connectivity targets on gigabit connectivity.

The Co-legislators have agreed to task BEREC with the provision of Guidelines by 12 November 2025. The objective of this project, in close cooperation with the EC, is to prepare BEREC Guidelines on access to in-building infrastructure according to Art. 11(6) of the GIA.

The draft Guidelines are subject to public consultation.
