Topics of the upcoming BEREC public debriefing 

On 12 October 2023, attendees will meet Tonko Obuljen (HAKOM, Croatia), the incoming BEREC Chair, who will unveil the draft BEREC Work Programme for the following year. This document is open for public consultation, and stakeholders can take this opportunity to ask questions before submitting their contributions to the planning document. 

The Working Group Co-chairs will present two documents launched for public consultation. The first document covers the best practices to support adequate broadband Internet Access Service, while the second focuses on the reviewed guidelines for detailing the Quality of Services (QoS) parameters. Attendees will also receive more information on the secure 5G networks report. 

The BEREC Chair Prof. Kostas Masselos (EETT, Greece) will announce the results of the BEREC Chair 2025 election and the new composition of the BEREC mini-board for 2024.
