BT Wholesale's pricing of DataStream Customer Access Link

Complainant: Thus
Complaint against: BT
Case opened: 4 February 2003
Case closed: 3 April 2003
Issue: Pricing of BT's DataStream Customer Access Link
Relevant Instrument: Chapter II of the Competition Act 1998 (abuse of a dominant position)

Thus alleged that BT was selling its DataStream Customer Access Link (CAL) product below the cost of an equivalent partial private circuit, implying that the product must be cross-subsidised. Thus claimed that this would result in margin squeeze if Thus wished to sell a DataStream based service to an ISP in competition with BT Wholesale.

Following new information Thus has withdrawn this complaint, in order to submit a revised complaint on the same subject. Accordingly Oftel has closed this case.
