Rumors confirmed! As such, there is little doubts that N. Kroes will fit well in Reding's shoes: same consumer approach, same style.
She also has some sector expertise, having been in the board of O2, New Skies Satellites and Lucent.
Thus, I believe she is also unlikely to lower the Commission's stance on Roaming or MTRs. Yet, it remains to be seen whether she would side in favor of competitive operators or incumbents. In this regards, her previous comment that 2 is not enough (see below) could be remembered in due time when discussing appropriate level and symmetry for MTRs or in-building fiber-networks sharing...
It also remains to be seen what are her plans for media and copyrights.
