Press Release: Antitrust: Commission closes investigation into internet connectivity services but will continue to monitor the sector

The European Commission closed an investigation into practices by European telecoms operators in the internet connectivity markets. Inspections were carried out in July 2013. Following a review of the evidence obtained during the investigation, the Commission came to the provisional view that the observed practices did not appear to breach EU antitrust law with a view to shutting out competitors from either the internet transit market or internet content markets.
