Vivacom fined BGN 3.75 million for unfair conduct toward rival telecom operator
Company: Vivacom Bulgaria EAD
Summary
In May 2015 Bulgaria's Commission for Protection of Competition imposed a BGN 3.75 million fine on Bulgarian Telecommunications Company, operating under the Vivacom brand, after a repeat investigation of a complaint by Eastern Telecommunications Company. The case concerned Vivacom's unilateral termination of an interconnection agreement and the competition authority found unfair conduct affecting a rival operator. Vivacom publicly stated that it would appeal the ruling. Because final appellate closure of this specific sanction was not established in this review, the record is marked unresolved.
