Orcon accepts ComCom decision on “loyalty offers”
The Commerce Commission decision to fine Telecom for offering unfair ‘loyalty discounts’ goes a small way to redressing the telco’s long-standing efforts to stifle competition and delay investment in modern and competitive broadband.
Orcon has always asserted that Telecom’s claim it was offering volume discounts - but only offering them to ISPs hadn’t invested in competitive infrastructure called unbundling – was utter bunkum.
Telecom has held New Zealanders back from enjoying world class broadband for more than 10 years.
Telecom’s chain has been pulled today and rightly so.
At Orcon, we want to see a level playing field where telcos compete on service and price, not on shady discounts and monopolistic behaviours.
