  • Tele2 Is Europe´S Leading Alternative Telecom Operator Offering a Wide Range of Products to Consumers Across Europe
    ERG Kista 25 January 2008 Response to ERGs draft Common Position on symmetry of fixed/mobile call termination rates Tele2 is Europe´s leading alternative telecom operator offering a wide range of products to consumers across Europe. Tele2´s most important products are mobile telephony and broadband but the company also provides fixed telephony in a number of countries. Tele2 welcomes the opportunity to provide its comments on ERGs draft Common Position (CP) on symmetry of fixed/mobile call termination rates. General As a general remark on the draft CP Tele2 would like to point to the fact that before the question of symmetry regarding termination rates becomes relevant and a potential issue a NRA first must come to the conclusion that at least two operators in a specific country are considered holding SMP-position on their individual networks. This is due to the fact that price regulation of any kind can only be decided as a remedy following a finding of SMP- position according to Article 13 of the Access directive. Court judgments across Europe (e.g. in the UK, Finland and Ireland) show that an SMP assessment is not a mechanical process where the fact that an operator per definition holds a 100 percent market share on the individual market at hand can be used as a sole argument for the conclusion that the operator also holds a SMP-position in the market. The existence of customers with a strong negotiating position, which is exercised to produce a significant impact on competition, will tend to restrict the ability of providers to act independently of their customers.
