ABUSE OF DOMINANT POSITION IN TELECOMMUNICATION MARKET - THE TELECOM DECISION

Zlorabo prevladujočega položaja ureja Zakon o preprečevanju omejevanja konkurence in je ena izmed treh oblik podjetniškega omejevanja konkurence. Avtorica se v diplomski nalogi ukvarja z vprašanjem prevladujočega položaja in zlorabe tega položaja v konkretnem primeru zlorabe prevladujočega položaja s strani Telekoma. Na začetku diplomske naloge avtorica poda analizo obravnavanega primera zlorabe iz leta 1997, kjer je bila s strani Urada Republike Slovenije za varstvo konkurence, ugotovljena zloraba prevladujočega položaja s strani Telekoma z zavrnitvijo dobave in bojkotom podjetij K2.net in Quantum, v nadaljevanju pa opredeljuje prevladujoči položaj in elemente zlorabe prevladujočega položaja. Avtorica ugotavlja, da je Telekom z diskriminacijo konkurenčnih podjetij in posledično dajanjem prednosti lastnemu sistemu SiOL na način, da je le slednjemu omogočil uporabo cenejše številke za dostop do interneta, zlorabil svoj prevladujoč položaj. Zadeva, katero avtorica obravnava, sega v leto 1997 in je prvi primer odločbe Urada za varstvo konkurence o zlorabi prevladujočega položaja.Prevention of the restriction of competition act (PRCA-1) regulates prohibition of the abuse of a dominant position in Slovenia.
