Bulgaria’s Commission for Protection of Competition said on February 17 that it has fined telecom firm 0.1 per cent of its net revenue for 2013, for unfair trade practices.
CPC said that the fine was the result of a complaint filed by several small cable operators, who claimed that the carrier offered several tablet models at prices well below those charged in retail chains to customers who signed new data contracts. The regulator said that its investigation found that between January and July 2014, BTC did engage in the practices described by the plaintiffs, breaching competition legislation.
The fine can be appealed within a period of 14 days at the Supreme Administrative Court, the regulator said.
