In 25 August 2014, the AdC issued an opinion on the draft decision of ANACOM on the wholesale market for call termination on the public telephone network at a fixed location.
The AdC did not oppose the definition of the relevant product and geographic markets and the assessment of significant market power contained in the draft decision.
The AdC considered the methodologies for defining markets and assessing the existence of significant market power adequate and generally consistent with the application of the Competition Law methodology.
The AdC considered that the elimination of the price asymmetry between the PT Group companies and the other operators was adequate.
The AdC considered that the use of the "pure" Long Run Incremental Cost (LRIC) costing model was the most appropriate methodology to foster competition in retail markets adjacent to the wholesale market for call termination in the public telephone network at a fixed location.
The AdC considered that the obligations to respond to all reasonable requests for Internet Protocol (IP) interconnection access and of non-discrimination were adequate, taking into account, in particular, the principle of technological neutrality.
