Regulator proposes changes on Czech mobile phone market

The Czech Telecommunication Office (ČTÚ) has prepared a proposal to regulate the Czech mobile phone market, news site Lupa.cz reported on Monday. The new proposal, which takes recommendations from the European Commission into consideration, has been published on the ČTÚ website.

In its analysis the regulator argues that retailer mobile service prices, especially when it comes to mobile data, is disproportionately higher than the EU average.

A previous regulation proposal created by the ČTÚ was rejected by the European Commission and the Czech Republic’s Office for the Protection of Competition.

The Czech mobile operator market is currently composed of three major providers – O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone. A fourth operator could enter the market at the end of 2024, the Czech News Agency writes.
