Dito accuses Globe, Smart of ‘abuse’ of dominant positions

Dito Telecommunity, the third telco player owned by businessman Dennis Uy, has filed complaints before the Philippine Competition Commission against telco duopoly Globe Telecom and Smart Communications for alleged “abuse” of dominant positions.

Although interconnection among telcos is mandated under the law, “It has become very difficult for our subscribers to interconnect with Globe and Smart,” DITO Chief Administrative Officer Adel Tamano told a press conference Monday, Aug. 8. “They’re giants. Our market share for the entire market is at most five percent. There would be no question who is in the dominant position,” Tamano pointed out. “If our interconnection is better, our market share will be bigger.”

The problem is the duopoly is “making interconnection subject to commercial conditions”, according to DITO executives but declined to elaborate.“PCC has no jurisdiction over the commercial conditions of our interconnection. Anti-competition is our focus,” Tamano stressed. “If given due course, our CEO will proceed to investigate the charges and if it subsequently finds sufficient basis, file with the Commission en banc a Statement of Objections against the allegedly erring entities,” said Bernabe.

Dito alleged that Globe and Smart are “not very compliant” with their interconnection agreement making it difficult for Dito subscribers to connect to the two other telcos.
