Regulatory Guidelines For MVNO Approved In Romania

Further to a public consultation process with the electronic communications industry, on the 3^rd of May 2012 the National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications ("ANCOM") approved the Regulatory Guidelines for Mobile Virtual Network Operators ("MVNOs") operating in Romania ("Guidelines").

Prior to the approval of such Guidelines, in Romania there were no MVNOs on the mobile communications market (i.e. no access contract was in place and no business activities were conducted in this regard).  The Guidelines outline the general framework concerning the MVNOs and set a list of recommendations for their access and activity on the Romanian electronic communications market.
