Presumably this will lead market participants to adopt a \u2018wait-and-see\u2019 attitude, with many not expecting more favourable investment conditions as a result of shifting this parallelogram of forces, through increasing state aid or other components for example.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He asks how regulators should respond to this &#8216;wait-and-see&#8217; attitude, wondering if Europe should &#8220;start with a clean slate and put in place a clear, flexible and highly simplified regulatory framework.&#8221; He suggests &#8220;Why not dare to make investments in FTTH a matter of agreements under private law, for a limited term and subject to consistent ex-post supervision but completely free of regulation?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Serentschy spent nearly a dozen years as CEO of RTR, the Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunication and was Chair of BEREC, the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communication.
