【MVNO国际快报】乐购欲获得乐购移动的全部掌控权

 

 

据Telegraph报道，乐购准备进一步推动英国移动市场的发展，其将收购虚商乐购移动中O2所拥有的股份。从2003年开始，O2和乐购就一起运营一个各占50%的合资企业。据不愿透露姓名的业内人士透露，乐购准备全权掌控乐购移动，并且同和记电讯签署了一项使用O2和Three的融合网络的长期协议。

 

在与欧盟监管机构举行的一次闭门会议中，乐购表示了其意图并提出了收购和记电讯的O2。和记电讯希望出售O2在乐购移动的利益，认为这将有助于激励竞争机构去推动这项交易的达成。

 

业内人士表示，由于02和Three的合并电子商务模型的用户价格将有6%的增长。如果乐购移动独立出去的话，这项利益将减少到1%。乐购移动约有450万用户，消息人士预测买下O2的股份将花费高达3亿英镑。

 

在与欧盟监管机构的会议中，“英国宽带”运营伦敦的移动宽带网络Relish，据悉其在会上提出与和记电讯合作以建立一个新的全国性移动网络。通过在高密度人口城市构建其自有网络来实现，然后在其他地区租用O2/Three的网络。

 

为了与零售竞争对手建立的长期合作协议，和记电讯利用融合网络提供高达30%的网络。已经确定3月10日周四将与欧盟监管局开一个后续会议，讨论市场的可行交易。

 

Tesco wants full control of Tesco Mobile

 

Key words:Tesco Mobile

 

Tesco is planning a major push in the UK mobile market by acquiring the stake it does not already own in MVNO Tesco Mobile from O2, reports The Telegraph. O2 and Tesco have been operating the 50/50 JV since 2003. Tesco is looking to take full control of Tesco Mobile and agree a long-term agreement with Hutchison for capacity on the merged O2/Three networks, according to unnamed industry sources.

 

Tesco is understood to have confirmed its intentions at a closed meeting with EU regulators about the proposed takeover of O2 by Hutchison. The latter is expected to welcome the sale of O2's interest in Tesco Mobile, believing it will help encourage competition authorities to approve the deal.

 

Sources indicate that EC modelling predicts a 6 percent increase in consumer prices as a result of the merger of O2 and Three. This could fall to 1 percent if Tesco Mobile was independent. Tesco Mobile has around 4.5 million customers, with City sources estimating that buying out O2's stake would cost up to GBP 300 million.

 

At the meeting with EU regulators, UK Broadband, which operates London-based mobile broadband network Relish, is understood to have proposed a possible deal with Hutchison to establish a new national mobile network. This could be achieved by building its own network coverage in densely populated cities, and then using rented capacity on the O2/Three network in other areas.

 

Hutchison has already offered up to 30 percent of capacity on the merged network for long-term agreements with retail rivals. It is scheduled to hold a follow-up meeting with EU regulators on Thursday 10 March to discuss possible deals for the market.

Vaya近期收购了澳大利亚虚商Amaysim，声称其已经采取措施去解决澳洲竞争与消费者公署(ACCC)跟踪用户投诉的问题。去年，在用户投诉他们收到合同内容变更的邮件后，澳洲竞争与消费者公署(ACCC)队Vaya的实际情况展开了一次调查。

 

Vaya称其采取了革命性的举措：将被收取套餐冻结费用的用户的所收费用全部退还；通知投诉押金以及套餐冻结费用的用户，他们可以选择终止他们不需要的合同；并且努力提高他们用户沟通和广告透明度。

 

澳洲竞争与消费者公署(ACCC)鼓励此次行动。2014年9月份，Vaya发送了一封邮件给一些筛选后的用户，告知他们在两年期合同快结束的时候，如果他们每月付9.9澳大利亚元的“套餐冻结费”即月使用费，他们就能继续使用现有套餐。Vaya在用户两年期合同终止之前，会向其发送通知邮件，在一些情况下，会在用户合同到期之前向其收费。在2015年2月，Vaya 向其用户发送邮件讲明所有用户都要付“一旦失去,退还20澳元押金”（押金），这与Vaya条款相符，也和电信用户保护法相符。

 

Vaya addresses customer complaints after ACCC probe

 

Key words:Vaya;Australian MVNO Amaysim

 

Vaya, recently acquired by Australian MVNO Amaysim, said it has taken measures to address concerns raised by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission following a spike in consumer complaints. Last year, the ACCC started an investigation into Vaya’s practices after customers complained about emails they received with contract variations.

 

Vaya said it took voluntary action: it refunded all customers who were incorrectly charged with its Plan Freeze Fee; it informed customers who complained about the Security Deposit and Plan Freeze Fee of their right to terminate their contracts without penalty; and it committed to improving the transparency of its customer communications and advertising.

 

The ACC said it welcomed the action. In September 2014, Vaya sent an email to selected customers stating that at the end of their 24 month contract they could keep their current plan if they paid a monthly AUD 9.90 fee called a ‘Plan Freeze Fee’, on top of their monthly access fee. Vaya sent this email to customers before their 24 month contract expired and in some cases charged the fee before customer contracts expired. In February 2015, Vaya sent an email to its customers stating that all customers were required to pay a “once-off, refundable AUD 20 Security Deposit” (Security Deposit) in accordance with Vaya’s Terms and Conditions and the Telecommunications Consumer Protection Code (TCP Code).
