Commerce Commission unhappy about Telecom ruling

The Commerce Commission is to appeal a judgment by the High Court in Auckland in the long-running case against Telecom.

The Commerce Commission alleged Telecom contravened the Commerce Act 1986, when it introduced its 0867 internet package in 1999.

Last month the High Court found that Telecom did not use its dominant position in the market for fixed line retail telephone services to residential customers or have an anti-competitive purpose when it introduced the 0867 package.
