Malta updates SMP decisions

The Malta Communications Authority (MCA) has issued decisions on the designation of significant market power (SMP) in the country’s fixed and mobile sectors. In the wholesale markets for the provision of fixed voice call termination on individual public telephone networks, five firms have been identified as having SMP status: GO, Melita, Vodafone Malta, Ozone Malta and Vanilla Telecoms. In the wholesale markets for the provision of voice call termination services on individual mobile networks, GO, Melita and Vodafone were ruled as having SMP. The SMP designation means operators must adhere to guidelines on: access to/and use of specific facilities; non-discrimination; transparency; price control; and cost accounting.
