A public consultation on what is the best approach to ensure that basic telecoms services are available for all EU citizens has been launched yesterday by the European Commission. The consultation aims to see if rules and definitions on universal service need to be updated for the digital age, and in particular if they should be extended to cover broadband access. Please note that it is the directive governing 112 issues. It will help the Commission decide if it needs to present new legislative proposals on universal service obligations for telecoms by end of 2010. The consultation will run until 7 May 2010. A Public Workshop will be held on 30 March 2010 in Brussels.

Introduction
Telematics-the integration of global positioning system technology and mobile communications-could dramatically alter the auto insurance industry. From personalized premiums based on individual driving data to automated emergency services and entertainment-based add-ons, telematics has the potential to upend the stable model that has dominated the industry for more than 50 years. The winners will be those early movers that capture the safest drivers, take advantage of pricing power and ease consumers' concerns about privacy. This, the first in a series of three articles, looks at some of the challenges insurance companies have faced adopting telematics, where it has been adopted thus far, and where it might offer the most compelling propositions.
