This chapter sets out work Oftel will undertake to secure licence enforcement and fair trading.
Competition can only flourish if the market is fair.
It is designed to directly secure more efficient and timely action against behaviour that would threaten fair, efficient and sustainable network and services competition. It is also designed to make licence enforcement more effective, in so far as the proposed condition should deter licensees from unfair trading. Thus it should lead to more self regulation and less need for intrusive regulation. The proposals will also improve Oftel's internal decision making to ensure due process for all concerned. Oftel also believes that its proposals will enable it to deregulate in markets which are competitive.
