Margin Squeeze in the Electronic Communications Sector provides an in-depth analysis of margin squeeze allegations in the electronic communications sector. Margin squeeze is a form of abuse of a dominant position in which a vertically integrated company reduces the margin between the price charged to competitors and the price charged to consumers, which can have the effect of excluding a competitor from the market. In the decade or so since the liberalisation of network industries, margin squeeze has become a major source of concern among competition authorities and courts, particularly pronounced in the electronic communications sector. Because some of the adopted decisions show significant inconsistencies in approach, and legal certainty remains elusive in this area, this book which provides an advanced and comprehensive analysis of principles guides the ex post assessment of margin squeeze.
