Governo cede a operadores de telecomunicações que vão pagar menos à Anacom pelas taxas de regulação

The Portuguese government has changed the way telecommunications companies pay fees to Anacom, the telecommunications regulator. The new rules exclude provisions and interest from the calculation of annual fees, which will reduce Anacom's revenue. The government argues that the previous system was unreasonable, as it allowed the costs of one company's litigation to be reflected in the fees paid by other companies. The new rules also allow for a maximum contribution limit to be set. While the main telecommunications companies welcome the changes, some legal experts argue that the government's solution is partial and constitutionally questionable.
