Det forsøges i de ti punkter at skabe en balance mellem behovet for at tilgodese samfundsopgaven og ønsket om at sikre teleadministrationernes fortsatte finansielle levedygtighed samt deres centrale rolle for nettets fremtidige udvikling, og behovet for større frihed til at kunne udnytte dette net, eller udtrykt anderledes : mellem princippet om at universelle standardiserede tjenester bør stå til rådighed for alle og ønsket om, at disse tjenester skal være tilpasset den enkeltes behov, hvilket bedst realiseres inden for et konkurrencemiljø.
The 10 positions try to strike a balance between the requirements to safeguard public service on the one hand and to encourage market development on the other: between maintaining the telecommunications administrations' central role in future network development and their financial viability and the need to provide for more freedom for the use of this network; between the principle of universal standardized services for all and the trend towards tailoring services to individual needs, served best by a competitive environment.
