Italy's competition watchdog levied fines against Vodafone Group
PLC, Wind Tre SpA, Telecom Italia SpA and Fastweb SpA, saying the
telecom operators engaged in unfair practices while handling
contract terminations for fixed and mobile phone users.
The Italian Competition Authority, or AGCM, said Monday that its
decision to impose a fine of 1 million euros ($1.1 million) stemmed
from findings that some users were billed after rescinding their
contract, and in some cases, they were billed twice after migrating
to a different provider.
The regulator fined Vodafone EUR400,000, Wind Tre EUR300,000,
Telecom Italia EUR200,000 and Swisscom AG's Fastweb EUR100,000.
The four companies didn't immediately respond to requests for
comment.
