Datagroup's concentration of 100% of Volia to lead to higher prices for telecom services – association
2 min read
The Ukrainian Internet Association asks the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) not to consider the issue of Datagroup's concentration of 100% of the Volia Group of Companies under a simplified procedure, since such actions may lead to a new entity gaining the opportunity to control the inter-operator telecom market.
"We fully share the position of Lanet Network LLC and other members of the association that, as a result of concentration, a new business entity will be able to control the inter-operator telecom market [...] This, in our opinion, will inevitably lead to an increase in the cost of telecommunications services, both for legal entities and individuals, and will also give an opportunity to the entity again to dictate the conditions of activity in the telecom markets for other participants," according to the association's public appeal to the AMCU.
