Fine or penalty
In 2019, Spain's National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) fined Movistar €6 million. The regulator found that the company delayed repairs to networks used by competitors, while repairing breakdowns on its own networks in a timely manner. The CNMC characterized this conduct as discriminatory treatment of rival operators that rely on its network infrastructure. The penalty was announced on November 7, 2019.
