In February 2009 the Authority ANACOM published the results of a public consultation on NGA network. On that occasion it stated that the functional separation of the incumbent network operator Portugal Telecom is not among the remedies provided for under the Portuguese regulatory framework, and that the issue deserved further investigation.
Then, in July of that year, the Authority commissioned to Oxera a study on the opportunities and risks arising from the application of functional separation in the Portuguese market.
