Telefonica, DTS fined EUR 15.5 mln for football rights deal
2015-07-27 08:38:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Spanish communications and competition regulator CNMC has fined Telefonica and Distribuidora de Television Digital (DTS) a total of EUR 15.5 million on grounds of having colluded in the acquisition, resale and exploitation of football broadcast rights for the 2012-2013 and 2014-2015 seasons. The regulator said the sharing agreements between the companies infringed EU competition laws and that, as a result, Telefonica and DTS would be fined EUR 10 million and EUR 5.5 million, respectively, for two agreements reached in August 2012 for the commercialisation of the channels Canal+ Champions League and Canal+ Liga. In a strongly worded statement, the CNMC said Telefonica was aware of DTS's strategy of marketing Champions League rights to a single telecoms operator before other operators and that DTS drafted the auction conditions to favour Telefonica and limit competition between pay-TV operators. Similarly, with regard to Canal+ Liga, DTS drew up its wholesale offer in such a way that Telefonica knew its strategy and prices in advance, placing the operator it at a competitive advantage over other bidders.

Swisscom faces CHF 143 mln fine over pay-TV sports offer
2015-07-23 17:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Switzerland's Competition Commission has proposed a fine of CHF 143 million against Swisscom for alleged violations in the marketing of sports content over pay TV. According to the regulator, Swisscom and its Teleclub service occupy a dominant market position, particularly in broadcasting Swiss national football and ice hockey events and, where technically possible, should provide all TV platforms in Switzerland with equivalent Teleclub sports programming under non-discriminatory conditions. Swisscom denies the alleged violation and regards the sanction as unjustified. Swisscom said in a statement that it will examine the 170-page draft decision from the regulator and respond to the allegations within the requested deadline. The definitive decree from ComCo can be contested at the Federal Administrative Court and ultimately with the Federal Court if necessary, Swisscom noted.
