Data privacy can take the form of non-price competition and abuse of dominance can lower privacy protection, a study conducted by the Competition Commission of India<\/a> (CCI) has said.

The study also made
observations<\/a> about other non-price factors such as quality of service<\/a> (QoS), data speeds and bundled offerings, which are likely to be the new drivers of competitive rivalry between service providers in telecom sector<\/a> in addition to just price.

While reporting the findings and making its own observations, CCI noted that an aspect of data in the context of competition in digital communications market is the conflict between allowing access and protecting consumer privacy.

\"Privacy can take the form of non-price competition,\" it said. Abuse of dominance can take the form of lowering the privacy protection and therefore fall within the ambit of antitrust as low privacy standard implies lack of consumer welfare.

Privacy degradation can lead to an objective detriment to consumers. Lower data protection can also lead to the standard legal category of exclusionary behaviour which undermines the competitive process, CCI noted in the report.

\"Tying with other digital products will further strengthen the data advantage enjoyed by the dominant incumbent by cross-linking the data collected across services, creating a vicious circle,\" it said.

On other non-price factors of competition, CCI found that consumers ranked network coverage at the top followed by customer service, tariff packaging and lower tariffs as the most important factors for the preference of a particular network.

These responses suggest that competition has moved away from a unidimensional focus on price, as per the report.

\"Much of the focus of the sector regulator, operators and consumers was on price and price-based competition. With the market moving towards data-based applications and services, there is a noticeable change in the demand for QoS,\" the report said.

Tariffs have been the centre-piece of competition in the price-sensitive Indian market. Episodes of intense price wars have been witnessed and there might be a recognition now that the intense recent tariff war that began in 2016 has eroded the sector of its financial stability.

Almost all stakeholders agreed that remaining the cheapest telecom market in the world would be an untenable option for the sector going forward, it further said.

The report supports findings that demonstrate an important role for non-price factors in driving competition in the Indian telecom market, partly reflecting the maturing nature of competition and in part the recognition that price competition has its intrinsic limits.

Even though the average consumer remains price sensitive, other factors such as QoS, data speeds and bundled offerings are shown to influence consumer choice.

The report envisages that a pan-India mobile network and data packages are no longer the product or service differentiators, rather bundled offerings (which include, inter alia, voice, data, SMS, and content) will be the focus of differentiation among service providers with service bouquets to be the likely choice for improving customer retention.

The dynamic nature of telecom market ensures that what is a differentiator at one point in time becomes common at another.

The regulator had launched a market study on the telecom sector in India in January 2020 whose objective was to assess the level of concentration and competition in the telecom sector, highlight changes in competition strategies, analyse the dynamics of competition and cooperation between telecom services and related industries such as
OTT<\/a> services, tower companies and infrastructure providers, examine regulations and policy developments from a competition standpoint.

数据隐私可以采取非价格竞争的形式和滥用市场支配地位的行为可以降低隐私保护,进行的研究印度竞争委员会(CCI)说。

该研究还让观察关于其他非价格因素如质量服务(QoS),数据传输速度和捆绑产品,可能是新司机服务提供商之间的竞争对手电信部门除了价格。

虽然报告发现,使自己的观察,CCI的上下文中指出的一个方面数据数字通信市场竞争的是允许访问之间的冲突和保护消费者的隐私。

“隐私可以采取非价格竞争的形式,”它说。滥用市场支配地位的行为可以采取降低隐私保护的形式,因此属于反垄断低隐私标准的范围意味着缺乏消费者福利。

隐私恶化会导致客观损害消费者。较低的数据保护也能导致标准的法律范畴的排他的行为破坏了竞争过程,CCI在报告中指出。

“捆绑与其他数码产品将进一步加强数据优势主导现任通过交联各地收集的数据服务,创建一个恶性循环,”它说。

在其他非价格因素竞争,CCI排名发现,消费者网络覆盖顶部后跟客户服务、包装和关税降低关税的最重要的因素一个特定网络的偏好。

这些反应表明,竞争已经不再是线性的关注价格,按照报告。

“多部门监管的重点,运营商和消费者在价格和基于价格的竞争。随着市场走向基于数据的应用程序和服务,有一个明显的QoS需求的变化,”该报告说。

关税一直在对价格敏感的印度市场竞争的重点。发作的价格战已经目睹了,可能有一个识别现在激烈的最近的关税战争始于2016年侵蚀其金融稳定的行业。

几乎所有的利益相关者同意剩下的世界上最便宜的电信市场将是一个站不住脚的选择部门,进一步说。

报告支持非价格因素的发现表明一个重要的角色在推动印度电信市场的竞争,在一定程度上反映出成熟和竞争的性质在一定程度上认识到价格竞争有其固有的局限性。

尽管平均消费价格仍然敏感,其他因素如QoS,数据传输速度和捆绑产品所示来影响消费者的选择。

报告设想,pan-India移动网络和数据包不再是产品或服务的优势,而捆绑产品(承诺书,包括语音、数据、短信、和内容)将分化的重点在服务提供者与服务花束为改善客户保留是可能的选择。

电信市场的动态特性确保什么是区别在一个时间点成为常见的在另一个。

电信监管机构推出了一个市场研究行业2020年1月在印度的目标是评估水平的浓度和电信业的竞争,强调竞争策略的变化,分析了动态竞争和合作的电信服务等相关行业奥特服务,塔公司和基础设施提供商,检查规定和政策发展从竞争的角度来看。
