Antitrust, investigation into Tim and Dazn on Serie A TV rights

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 08 - The Antitrust has started an investigation on some clauses of the agreement between Tim and Dazn for the distribution and technological support relating to the contents of Packages 1 and 3 of the rights for watching the matches of the Series A in the three-year period 2021-2024. In particular, the procedure is aimed at ascertaining whether there is a possible agreement restricting competition for the clauses that commercially limit DAZN in the offer of paid television services, with the effect, among other things, of reducing its ability to offer discounts to end users and to hinder competing telecommunications operators which could result in obstacles to the adoption of their own technological solutions.
