Munich, 20 September 2020
Telefónica Deutschland complies with existing MBA MVNO agreement and merger
control remedies
Telefónica Deutschland is offering services to 1&1 Drillisch on the back of
the capacity-based MBA MVNO contract between the two parties. On 30 December
2019, this contract has been prolonged on request of 1&1 Drillisch for the
five-year period starting 1 July 2020 until 30 June 2025.
Telefónica Deutschland has invoiced the first months of the prolongation
period in-line with the contractual terms and conditions; i.e. based on the
average unitary price of the benchmark period with no price increase. The
terms and conditions have been transparent for both parties at all times as
the details of the pricing mechanism have been part of the merger approval
documents for the acquisition of E-Plus in 2014 and have been confirmed by
both parties in May 2017. As usual for this kind of commercially sensitive
agreement, both parties have agreed strict confidentiality about details of
the contract.
Also, during the prolongation period 1&1 Drillisch has the contractual right
to initiate reviews to ensure competitiveness of the pricing. With regards
to the initiated price review 1, the appointed independent expert fully
confirmed Telefónica Deutschland's MBA MVNO pricing on 19 December 2019.
In-line with its contractual obligations, Telefónica Deutschland also
cooperates with regards to the other ongoing price reviews. Two price
reviews have been withdrawn by 1&1 Drillisch in April 2020.
Independent from the price reviews and the regular invoicing process for
provided services, Telefónica Deutschland is negotiating a national roaming
agreement with 1&1 Drillisch under the so-called MNO Remedy. During this
process, Telefónica Deutschland has made competitive and reasonable national
roaming offers.
Telefónica Deutschland strongly rejects any allegations and indications by
1&1 Drillisch that Telefónica Deutschland would not fulfil its legal
obligations and reserves all its rights.
Telefónica Deutschland confirms its FY20 guidance and midterm outlook while
continuously monitoring and analysing the COVID-19 environment.
