The Greek watchdog asked for comments from the operators regarding the new broadband marketing campaign of OTE. The incumbent came forward last week with an upgrade plan to reduce prices on the high-end of its fixed broadband portfolio. More specifically OTE plans the following:
- Upgrade 2Mbps/256k to 2Mbps/512k at no additional cost
- Upgrade 8Mbps/1Mbps to 24Mbps/1Mbps at no additional cost
- Cut down the prices of 24Mbps/1Mbps (presumably at the level of previously advertised and now cancelled 8Mbps speed)
These plans will be applied to both its retail (end-users) and wholesale (operators – bitstream) business, thus inevitably affecting (pushing down) the prices of LLU-based broadband products.
Comments will be published on the regulator’s website, so if I see something truly interesting I will come back to you on this.
