Brussels Court Orders Digi to Remove Unauthorized Fibre Installations Amid Controversy

The Brussels commercial court has ordered Digi to remove its fibre network installations in Brussels. The court ruled that Digi installed its infrastructure without obtaining the necessary permits.

This ruling follows a complaint by rival telecom company Proximus, which accused Digi of unfair competition. Digi now faces the choice of removing the unauthorized fibre installations or risking significant fines.

This decision underscores several important points:

• Strict Regulations: Network infrastructure must comply with local laws and obtain all required permits before installation.
• Competitive Tensions: The telecom market in Brussels is highly competitive, leading to legal actions such as this one.
• Operational Impact: Digi’s operations in Brussels are directly affected, emphasizing the risks of non-compliance during expansion.
