价格歧视抑或价格挤压——辨析中国电信、联通滥用市场支配地位行为之认定

Price discrimination or price squeeze——identification of China telecom and unicom's dominant position abuse

为辨析价格歧视与价格挤压这2种滥用市场支配地位行为之区别,完善《中华人民共和国反垄断法》立法和执法制度,分析了中国电信行业的现状、电信市场的结构、电信业垄断运营商的定价行为、价格挤压与价格歧视的概念比较、价格挤压的构成要件,并介绍了互联网接入市场价格挤压之国际案件。分析认为:电信、联通对与其有直接竞争关系的运营商和没有竞争关系的经营者、终端用户实行不同接入价格之行为应当被认定为价格挤压行为,而非价格歧视行为。

In order to classify the differences of price discrimination and price squeeze, which are two category of dominant position abuse, and to make contribution to the promotion of China＇s Anti-mon- opoly Law litigation and enforcement system, this paper analyzed the status quo of Chinese telecommuni- cation industry, its structure, the pricing act of monopolistic operator, the definition comparison of price discrimination and price squeeze, the factors contributed to price squeeze and relevant international cases in this area. The result indicates that China telecom＇s and unicom＇s act should be taken as prize squeeze rather than price discrimination when they enact higher price of internet access for other ISPs who directly compete with China telecom and unicom in retail market.
