EETT approves 21 OTE’s bundling offers
July 11, 2013
At today’s plenary meeting, EETT examined 25 bundling offers of OTE, approving 21 and rejecting
4, as it was ruled that they cause margin squeeze to the detriment of competitors. Since the
beginning of 2013 until now, EETT has examined a total of 70 bundling offers of OTE, of which 62
have been approved while eight were rejected.
EETT’s examination of the bundling offers that combine telephony and internet services
results from the regulatory obligation imposed on OTE as the latter is a company with significant
market power in retail markets of broadband access and calls. The examination of each program is
individualized. The time of the programs’ examination by the Regulatory Authority depends on the
completeness of accompanying support elements and the date of their submission by OTE. Before
approving each packet, no public announcement is permitted for its content or any other
characteristics. Any commercial marketing of non-approved packages constitutes a breach of the
legislation.
The examination of economy programs by the Regulatory Authority enhances fair competition and
the proper functioning of the market. Our aim is to offer competitive services at affordable prices
and in the long term for Greek consumers.
