16/11/2015 (Agence Europe) - New pro-competition alliance launched. The battle lines are being drawn ahead of the forthcoming review of telecoms rules. ECTA, the European association of alternative operators, launched a new pro-competition alliance on Monday 16 November named #NetCompetition. The alliance, which includes the European consumer organisation and European Digital Rights, supports the principles of competition, digital rights, business diversity, economic pluralism and consumer benefits. “#NetCompetition supporters believe that the US broadband market serves as a warning example: less competition raises prices, delivers poor services and creates traffic discrimination while failing to provide higher level of network investments”, say the members in a press release.
