FICORA's investigations show that the local loop charges Elisa Oyj
charges from other telecom operators are not cost-oriented as required
by the Communications Market Act, but the prices are unreasonably high.
The authority has scrutinized the lawfulness of the pricing of Elisa's
monthly fees and connection charges for local loops on behalf of
TeliaSonera Oyj's request for action.
In today's decision,
FICORA has set maximum prices to be charged by Elisa for leasing out a
part of a local loop. Within three months, Elisa must reduce its
pricing to a level based on actual costs and deliver new price tariffs
and cost calculations to FICORA. According to FICORA's calculations,
the unreasonability of pricing is significant. For example, the monthly
price of a local loop must be reduced by more than 20 per cent.
