Vodafone under investigation

THE Competition Authority is investigating a complaint levied against Vodafone by retailers angry at the slashing of margins on top-ups for ready-to-go phones.

Vodafone rejects the allegations by RGDATA that reducing commissions on some ready-to-go options from 10% to 6.5% is in breach of the competition acts.

A Vodafone spokesperson said a similar complaint last year was not upheld by the authority.
