Omantel's response to the competition framework public consultation traoman
The document provides comments from Omantel in response to TRA's ex-ante consultation on telecommunications markets in Oman. Some key points made by Omantel include:
1) Many of the proposed markets are not true markets but rather regulatory remedies, and should not be defined as such.
2) Fixed and mobile markets should be converged and defined based on services (access, voice, broadband) rather than technology. This better reflects substitution and convergence trends.
3) For retail access (Market 1), Omantel questions whether it is truly susceptible to ex-ante regulation given Nawras' competing infrastructure. Omantel also argues it may not be dominant in some areas.
