In 2007 the National Regulatory Authority EETT imposed on the Greece incumbent OTE the set up of a "Chinese wall" between the retail and the wholesale department; in particular, the retail department could not have any privilege in the access to the network respect to the wholesale department.

The Authority also required OTE the implementation of measures aimed at ensuring  the compliance with the principle of equal treatment from a technical and an economical point of view.

In 2008 the EETT issued a document containing the strategies for 2008-2011 and an analysis of the behaviour of the incumbent; it also called for a public consultation which could lead to the imposition of the separation of the network from the commercial departments. At the moment no positions have been expressed, and the debate on the possible separation of the network of the incumbent is still ongoing.
