‘Introduction of 5G – National fixed and mobile broadband plan’ – federal and regional level

To make high-speed internet as widely available as possible, this reform focuses on:

• adopting a federal legislative framework to allow for the organisation of radio spectrum auctions for 5G;
• revising regional radiation standards to allow for the deployment of 5G;
• implementing best practices for reducing costs of deployment and simplifying licensing and permitting procedures for the rollout of 5G and very high-capacity networks, such as fiber.

The federal legislative framework was put into place and the auctions completed. Since 2023, all three regions have revised their radiation standards, based on recommendations by the competent committees and study reports. A plan and a status report have been published on the implementation of the best practices.
