Tim, Agcom towards suspension of replicability obligations

Meanwhile, after the separation of the Tim network, that is the sale of NetCo to Kkr, the obligations for the group on the "replicability of retail offers" could fall, that constraint that the group had to leave competitors reasonable margins. Agcom, as stated in the resolution published on the site, has given the green light to a consultation procedure and in the meantime has suspended the applicability of the regulatory obligations for Tim until the conclusion of the investigation procedure.

Since July 1st, the date of the sale of NetCo, Tim is no longer vertically integrated and has therefore asked the Authority not to be obliged to guarantee the replicability of the offers. Agcom will analyse these structural changes in the market as part of the market analysis investigation procedure started on September 11th (and which will last 180 days) but on September 2nd Tim wrote again to the Authority asking for an urgent intervention "to safeguard competition and, ultimately, to protect the general interests of users" and Agcom agreed with it. Anyone who has observations on this decision has 15 days to respond (within the11 October) to send them to the Authority.
