However, ECTA has called for more regulation of broadband providers and a faster upgrade to next generation services.
Innocenzo Genna, chairman of ECTA, said: "Light touch regulation has not worked in the banking sector and there is no reason to assume it will work to consumers' benefit in telecoms."
A meeting between the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers is set to take place to discuss broadband issues within Europe.
