New EU Telecoms Package Agreed upon on 5th November 2009

On 5th November 2009 the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers finally agreed on a package of EU Telecoms Reforms involving five directives and referred to as the "Telecoms Package." The Telecoms Package will apply to communication providers, such as telecoms and Internet service providers (ISPs), but not to companies who merely access the Internet to provide services to users.
