This is a link to a blog by my colleagues in Spain.
As I understood it this is a clarification of the effect of regulator's
2006 market review which itself determined that MNOs *must* offer access
to their networks to MVNOs. It clarifies that this obligation includes
4G services - which did not exist back then.
However the 2006 decision is now many years in the past - and the
regulator has an obligation under European law to keep the market under
review periodically. In light of the fact that the EC has - since 2006 -
confirmed that the mobile wholesale access market is *not* on the list
of "relevant markets" which regulators ought to examine then it seems to
me that the any new review might well lead to a new decision to remove
access regulation.
Spanish mobile operators might then consider whether they could bring a case forcing the regulator to look at this market again.
