Vodafone Spain files complaint against Telefonica

2014-02-18 08:58:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Vodafone Spain has lodged a complaint before the competition regulator CNMC denouncing Telefonica's deal with broadband operator Jazztel and alleging that the incumbent operator is abusing its position in Spain to reduce competition for telecoms, internet and television services. Vodafone claims that Telefonica's agreement with Jazztel signed in October 2012 for the shared deployment of FTTH networks is part of a strategy to make it impossible for Vodafone and other operators to compete since they do not have fibre optic networks. The British operator accuses Telefonica of breaching Spanish and Community rules in "restricting, preventing or distorting" competition and attempting to extend its dominant position in the fixed broadband market from ADSL to fibre. Vodafone claims that it signed its own deal with Orange Spain to jointly deploy a fibre optic network throughout Spain after having unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate wholesale access to Telefonica's FTTH network and having failed come to an agreement about joint investment.
