The main point of criticism is that the GIA in its current form would slow down the expansion of fiber optics in Europe instead of accelerating it, because it favors the strategic overbuilding of fiber optic networks. BREKO is therefore calling on the European Parliament and the European Council to amend the draft and take into account the special features of the markets of individual member states."}
