Vietnam: Closed consultation on Draft Telecommunications Law including Unilateral Conduct Regulation

On 27 December 2022, the government closed its consultation on the draft Telecommunications Law. The draft includes specific unilateral conduct regulations for "telecom wholesale service providers". Specifically, if they hold a dominant market position, cross-offsetting the services is prohibited. Additionally, telecom wholesale service providers are required to set fair prices in a way that ensures no favorability over one's own services as compared to other service-buying enterprises. Service providers also need to consider the pricing conditions set by the specialised telecom management agency when setting and changing prices.
