The process of installing and expanding fiber optic networks becomes simpler and faster, with specific conditions regarding the public space
Μwith the joint ministerial decision signed by Deputy Minister of Digital Governance, Thodoris Livanios, and Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy, Nikos Tagaras, accelerating the development of ultra-high speed broadband networks while ensuring respect for public space and the planning of local government projects throughout the country.
In more detail, the relevant joint ministerial decision specifies:
- the technique and location of excavation for the implementation of the low nuisance projects, with the maximum allowable dimensions, ensuring sufficient free width on sidewalks, where the installation of cabins is foreseen.
- the maximum overall permissible time duration of low nuisance projects, as well as the maximum daily time duration of works.
- the roads, according to the speed limits, in which the implementation of a project can be considered of low nuisance.
- the obligation to foresee, in every new optical fiber installation project, the necessary sections on the road surface, in order to ensure from the outset the possibility of connection for all the buildings located in the installation area.
- The process of submitting supporting documents and transit fees.
- The timely coordination of the works with the planned road construction projects of municipalities and regions.
This is a decision that contributes to the achievement of the European goals for Digital Transformation, with which, after all, the National Broadband Plan of our country, in terms of increasing network infrastructure ultra high bandwidth. The main goal is for end users to have access to at least internet connectivity 100 Mbps, with the ability to upgrade to Gigabit speeds.
Those electronic communications projects that meet the terms and conditions reflected in this decision are characterized as low nuisance, i.e. local and not significant impact on the environment and are implemented based on the simplest procedure described in it.
These are projects that do not significantly disturb the cohesion of the road surface and the traffic of vehicles, as they involve excavations of small cross-section and shallow depth and installations of above-ground cabins.
