The Federal Antimonopoly Service has opened a case against Megafon for imposing the SuperAON service

The Rostov Department of the Federal Antimonopoly Service instituted proceedings against MegaFon OJSC on the grounds of violation of Part 1 of Article 10 of Federal Law dated 26.07.2006 No. 135-ФЗ On Protection of Competition for imposing the SuperAON service. The service was connected according to a scheme that was very popular with the Big Three - it was automatically included for all subscribers of the Caucasian branch of the operator from December 18, was free of charge as part of the action, and then it became paid, and to disconnect it, it was necessary to send an SMS or dial a USSD command.

The Rostov FAS Russia Directorate asks MegaFon subscribers who have any information on this case to contact FAS employees using the contact information provided on the website. I hope this case will set a good precedent in relation to other mobile operators.
