“Sky turned to the Antitrust to be sure that millions of consumers and football fans can continue to subscribe to Serie A through a plurality of broadband providers and watch it on the platform they prefer – satellite, DTT or OTT – just like today” . This was stated by the issuer in a note to Ansa.
“Tim, the dominant broadband retailer, has entered into an illegitimate exclusive deal with Dazn. This agreement precludes the OTT from distributing the Serie A championship through other operators – the note continues – thus favoring Tim and strengthening its dominant position in the broadband market. In a crucial moment of transition for Italy from standard to ultra-broadband, this exclusive agreement must not harm competition. For this reason Sky invites the Antitrust to act urgently to ensure that the Serie A championship can be enjoyed by all consumers in conditions that favor competition and free choice ».
