Incumbents demand regulation: Reding Venice speech

The Commissioner indulged in some straight talking about government-owned (fully or partially) incumbents in Europe, last week. 

"I call on you, incumbents, and your association ETNO, to re-think your policy recommendations to national ministers. You have to take a decision: Do you want to be friends or foes of a single telecoms market in Europe? Do you really want to let, for short-term reasons, the single market slip away to your US competitors?"
