Telefónica passes the CNMC replicability test for its fiber products in the residential segment

MADRID, 25 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Telefónica has passed the replicability tests of the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) in its fiber products in the residential segment, confirming that its wholesale prices are "adequate".

The methodology of these tests establishes the criteria to determine whether the prices of wholesale fiber optic offers charged by Telefónica to alternative operators for local NEBA and fiber NEBA allow competition in those areas where the level of competition is lower.

This refers to the area made up mainly of smaller municipalities, in which the alternative operators have not yet been able to deploy their own fiber networks to a sufficient degree and, therefore, have to resort to the NEBA local and NEBA fiber wholesale services. .

As explained by the CNMC, the prices of retail broadband products that are marketed in the non-competitive zone are freely decided by Telefónica, without any intervention from the Competition Agency.

For its part, the wholesale prices of local NEBA and fiber NEBA are set freely by Telefónica, with the sole condition that they must pass the replicability test.

In practice, the test determines whether an efficient alternative operator that uses the NEBA local or NEBA fiber services is capable of offering broadband products similar in price and performance to the main products that Telefónica offers its customers in the non-competitive area. endings.

If the test is not passed, the CNMC urges Telefónica to reduce the prices of its wholesale services until the test can be passed, so as to ensure a high level of competition in the market.

In the revisions of the parameters of the test, such as the one that has just been approved, the CNMC periodically reviews the parameters of this test to update the list of the most relevant Telefónica retail offers and the underlying costs used in it.

Telefónica has 15 days from notification of the resolution to, if it so wishes, modify the wholesale prices of the NEBA local and NEBA fiber services, always respecting the condition of replicability in accordance with the recently approved parameters and margins.
