January 26, the Federal Antimonopoly service initiated a case against OJSC “MegaFon” on the grounds of violation of the law on protection of competition, “Interfax”.
the Reason was the increase in MegaFon from 12 December 2016 base rates for communication services in international roaming for 38 areas from 20% to 2200% from the previously installed. The Ministry said that other operators tariffs for telecommunication services in roaming is not increased.
So, if the operator is convicted of violation of the Antimonopoly legislation, he faces a fine in the amount from 300 thousand to 1 million rubles.
previously, to raise prices in the international roaming tried PJSC “Mobile TeleSystems”, but abandoned this idea after the intervention of the FAS.
the Agency sent requests to operators “the big three” and Tele2 on prices in the international roaming, learning about the plans of MTS. In the end, on December 9, “Mobile TeleSystems” has just lowered prices on more options, and expanded the geography of their actions.
