The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies says competition issues arise when the market structure deliberately blocks new entrants.
The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies wants the Competition Commission to investigate South Africa’s data centre and cloud services markets to identify anti-competitive behaviour.
“The Competition Commission shall conduct studies in the data centre and cloud services markets to identify potential anti-competitive trends and behaviour, and where applicable, identify proactive preventative measures to ensure a fair and competitive market,” it says. “Thus, there is no empirical evidence necessitating a digital regulator focused solely on competition issues in the digital space.”
“Therefore, further research is necessary to understand potential anti-competitive practices in the data and cloud market,” the policy says.
