FAS INITIATED A CASE AGAINST TELECOM OPERATOR MEGAFON
According to FAS Russia, the company unreasonably increased tariffs
This May Megafon increased tariffs for communication services for more than 16.5 million subscribers by an average of 12%.
FAS Russia found that the level of tariff changes did not correspond to the level of inflation (consumer price index*) since the beginning of the year. In this regard, FAS Russia conducted an analysis of the economic feasibility of the increase.
FAS Russia concluded that the growth of the company's costs does not correspond to the growth of revenues from the increase in tariffs for communication services. It may lead to infringement of the interests of consumers.
As a result, FAS Russia initiated a case against Megafon PJSC on the signs of violation of Paragraph 1 Part 1 Article 10 of the Law on Protection of Competition.
* According to Rosstat data for the period from the beginning of the current year as of the last week of the month in which the tariff change occurred
