Telenet, Orange, and Proximus, the major telecom operators in Belgium, have each filed individual appeals against the pricing transparency policy proposed by the IBPT (Belgian Institute for Post and Telecommunications).

This policy, introduced in February, aims to improve price clarity in the telecommunications sector. The operators oppose this initiative, arguing that it could impact their business model.

According to L'Echo, this appeal has been confirmed by several sources, highlighting the tensions between the operators and the regulator over pricing regulations. The case is being closely monitored by the sector and could have significant repercussions.
