The “war” between operators and ANACOM is increasingly intense. After 5G, it is now the recent revelations by ANACOM about the reduction in quality and the increase in the price of the services of MEO, NOS and Vodafone that are causing tension between the companies and the regulator.
The operators have already come to say that this is a falsehood and Vodafone even admits that it can stop investing in Portugal.
Vodafone shareholders cannot bet on our country
Mário Vaz, president of Vodafone Portugal, revealed this Tuesday that it is very difficult to convince shareholders to switch to 5G [apostando em Portugal]. This happened after the regulations for the auction of the next generation network were known.
For the president of Vodafone Portugal, Mário Vaz, the year 2020 should have been a year of progress in telecommunications, but that moment did not happen, "instead we are at a time of litigation" and of contesting the 5G contest launched by the Authority . National of Communications (ANACOM).
In a debate promoted by the Associação Empresarial de Comunicações de Portugal, the president of Vodafone said that this is ...
a never-before-seen moment of attacks on the sector carried out by those responsible for promoting its development. We are facing a discouraging environment for this investment, we are facing conditions that force our shareholders to review their bet in our country
However, the terms of this contest "jeopardize the image of a country seen as a European benchmark in the sector," says Mário Vaz.
The president of Vodafone Portugal accuses ANACOM of creating a "reality distorted by falsehoods" in a Europe that has lost ground since the arrival of GSM.
According to Vodafone, there are 400 operators in Europe, 80 of which are large, which is compared to the United States of America where there are 3 operators. A Europe where networks must be financed with EU funds.
Mário Vaz's criticism comes hours after the ANACOM president's speech at the same conference. João Cadete de Matos said that the 5G network auction will be good for a competitive market in Portugal. This is because ANACOM intends to bet on an increase in operators with the aim of reducing rates.
