European Union: Gigabit Infrastructure Act including in-building physical infrastructure including obligations regarding in-building physical infrastructure and fibre wiring entered into force with grace period

On 2 May 2024, the Gigabit Infrastructure Act, including the in-building physical infrastructure requirement, entered into force. This Regulation aims to facilitate and stimulate the roll-out of very high capacity networks (VHCNs) by promoting the joint use of existing physical infrastructure and enabling a more efficient deployment of new physical infrastructure, with the goal of achieving faster and lower-cost network roll-out.
