Spanish market regulator CNMC has announced it will begin the process to fine multinational telecommunications operator Telefónica over a breach of the resolutions of Telefónica’s agreement on Land-line Rental Reference Prices (ORLA) struck with the regulator. The agreement limited the conditions Telefónica could set for renting out its infrastructure for wholesale operators, which use Telefónica’s service to connect their networks to their corporate customers and to set up mobile telephone stations.
Telefónica is accused of charging other operators monthly quotas that rose beyond the prices established by the ORLA agreement. The violation, if confirmed, would be considered particularly serious.
Telefónica was previously fined 5 million euros, in October 2015, over sustained violations to ORLA resolutions between 2010 and 2015 which placed unjustified cost increases, permanence clauses and longer delivery and communications delays than allowed by the regulator.
