No. 31/12/2003
The Director General of Telecommunications has conducted an investigation examining whether T-Mobile infringed the Chapter II prohibition of the Competition Act in relation to the disconnection of VIP Communications' (VIP) services.
VIP alleged that T-Mobile periodically suspended VIP's GSM Gateway services on the grounds of unlawful activity, yet still permitted GSM Gateway services by others, including T-Mobile's own service providers.
The Director has now completed his investigation. The Director has concluded that VIP had not been authorised by T-Mobile to provide Public GSM Gateways, and that T-Mobile therefore had an objective reason to refuse to supply VIP's Public GSM Gateway services. The Director has also concluded that T-Mobile is not acting in a discriminatory manner in its treatment of Public GSM Gateway operators.
Therefore the Director does not consider that T-Mobile's disconnection of VIP's services constitutes an infringement of the Competition Act.
