MILAN, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Italy's antitrust authority said
on Friday it had fined Italy's top four phone operators a total
of 228 million euros ($253 million) for breaching competition
rules by collectively agreeing to raise their prices.
The watchdog opened a probe against Telecom Italia
, Vodafone, CK Hutchison's unit Wind Tre
and Swisscom's Fastweb in 2018, claiming the
carriers had agreed to raise tariffs after they had been forced
to scrap a billing scheme based on 28 days rather than a full
month.
