In July 2024, the European Commission approved a new wholesale fibre volume discount scheme by the operator OTE. This discount scheme is expected to facilitate the broadband upgrade to full fibre in Greece.
RBB conducted a competition assessment of OTE’s discount scheme. Our analysis concluded that none of the considered theories of harm – particularly predatory pricing and loyalty effect – held merit. Other efficient fibre networks will still be able to compete effectively in the Greek wholesale local access market.
RBB’s team, led by Benoît Durand, Miguel de la Mano and David Henriques, with support from Jennifer Swart and Eva Panayiotidou, advised OTE throughout the process.
