Abstract:
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 telecommunication 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.
