Open Access Networks

Open access networks are telecommunications systems that allow multiple service providers to use the same infrastructure to deliver services, like internet and phone access. This means that consumers can choose from various providers, fostering competition and potentially leading to better prices and services. Unlike traditional networks where one company owns and controls the infrastructure, open access networks encourage innovation and can expand access, especially in underserved areas. The goal is to create a more equitable and efficient system where consumers have the freedom to select the services that best meet their needs.
