BUCHAREST, Romania-Israeli mobile operator Partner Communications sent a statement to Israel’s Croll committee requesting that it be allowed to offer a fixed-line service along with its cellular offering, allowing it to provide a basket of integrated fixed-line and cellular services.
“As the fixed-line company in Israel is a monopoly and as the regulator wishes to introduce competition in the fixed market to improve service to customers, we believe that encouraging cellular operators to offer services in the fixed market is a most feasible way to achieve competition,” said Mr. Dan Eldar, vice president of carrier, international and investor relations for Partner.
“Bezeq is not allowed to offer differential rates to avoid a possible course of action which may deter competitors from entering the fixed market.”
