Telefónica rivals warn that deregulating ducts will make Internet 1.5 euros a month more expensive
Spanish alternative operators are asking the CNMC to reject Telefónica's proposal to replace regulation of wholesale access to its civil infrastructure (the MARCo offer) with voluntary commitments lasting five years. They argue the plan implies a cumulative 116% increase over five years and would raise the cost of fibre access for end customers by 1.50 euros a month. Telefónica estimates a maximum increase of 8 cents, to 16 cents per line per month, and says its rates remain below 2011 levels.
