The European Commission sent two separate 'statements of objections' on 10 February 2005 to the German mobile network operators (MNOs) T-Mobile and Vodafone because the Commission believes the companies' practices may be contrary to EC Treaty rules on abuse of monopoly power (Article 82). In particular, the Commission challenged the high rates that T-Mobile (Deutsche Telekom's mobile unit) and Vodafone have charged other MNOs for international roaming services at wholesale level.
