Israel’s Eurocom Group is considering whether to maintain its 30% share in the DTH satellite platform YES. The Globes newspaper is reporting that the Restrictive Trade Practices Tribunal has accepted proposals from the Antitrust Authority that three competing multichannel platforms (cable, satellite and IPTV) must be maintained for the foreseeable future.
The Restrictive Trade Practices Tribunal has given the greenlight for Bezeq to complete a conditional takeover in YES. Eurocom’s position would be compromised should, if expected, it continues to develop a separate IPTV platform.
Separately, YES has been granted permission to offer telephony and internet services from its cable rival HOT.
