Because of advertising: Swisscom subsidiary Fastweb fined 4.4 million euros in Italy
The Italian antitrust authority has fined Swisscom subsidiary Fastweb 4.4 million euros. In a statement released on Monday, the authority criticized the telecommunications company's improper business practices.
Specifically criticized were advertising campaigns for the commercial offer of fiber optic connections, according to the letter from the Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM).
Fastweb "omitted or failed to adequately disclose" information about the characteristics of the offering, geographic coverage, differences in available services and performance in relation to the infrastructure used, the authority said. (SDA)
