Vodafone sues Telecom Italia for abuse of dominant position

2013-08-05 09:15:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Vodafone Group is suing Telecom Italia for abuse of its dominant position in Italy, seeking damages of over EUR 1 billion, reports Reuters. A Vodafone spokesperson said the civil action in a Milan court stated that Telecom Italia committed a series of abuses in the period 2008-2013, "with the intention and effect of impeding growth in competition in the Italian fixed-line market". As a consequence, Telecom Italia caused a loss of customers to Vodafone Italia, restricted the operator's ability to grow its fixed-line business, and forced it to pay artificially high costs to compete in the market.
