Press Release: Telecoms: Commission clears Slovenian regulator’s decision to maintain regulation on the mobile market

The European Commission endorsed Slovenia's telecoms regulator's (APEK) plan to require Slovenia's largest mobile operator, Mobitel, to continue to give competitors access to its network at regulated prices. Unlike most other EU countries, Slovenia's market for wholesale access and call origination services on mobile networks was still not effectively competitive. Competitors, for the time being, still relied on Mobitel's network to provide full national coverage and competitive services to their subscribers. Once they have rolled out their own networks, regulation should be withdrawn.
