MegaFon revokes complaint on roaming against antitrust from court

MOSCOW, Aug 18 (PRIME) -- Mobile operator MegaFon has withdrawn a complaint against the Federal Antimonopoly Service’s warning to eliminate a groundless difference in tariffs in home and other regions from the Moscow Arbitration Court, according to the court’s documents seen by PRIME on Friday.

“(MegaFon) applied to court on August 17 to revoke the complaint. The court sees possible to satisfy the application by returning the earlier filed lawsuit,” the court said.

The operator announced its lawsuit to the court on Monday against the antitrust service’s warning to the country’s four major mobile operators – MTS, MegaFon, VimpelCom, and T2 RTK Holding – that should be respected within 14 days, or in the second half of August.

A source in MegaFon said the company has asked the antimonopoly watchdog to delay the warning deadline to abolish the intra-network roaming. “The company is asking to put off the date and is building a dialogue with the Federal Antimonopoly Service,” the source said.

The service, which had received a motivated petition to delay the execution of the move only from one unnamed operator and satisfied it, said earlier it may open cases against the other three.
