The Authority has determined that MTN and Vodacom are dominant in the following markets:
| (a) | Retail market: MTN is dominant with a market share of between 49%-55% in two geographic markets for retail mobile services and therefore has SMP in those markets. Vodacom is dominant with a market share of between 47%-75% in 7 geographic markets for retail mobile services and therefore has SMP in those markets. MTN and Vodacom also have SMP as a result of vertical relationships that could harm competition. |
| (b) | Upstream market 1: MTN is dominant with a market share of between 45% and 52% in 8 geographic markets for site infrastructure access and therefore has SMP in those markets. Vodacom is dominant with a market share of between 45% and 65% in 39 geographic markets for site infrastructure access and therefore has SMP in those markets. MTN and Vodacom also have SMP as a result of vertical relationships that could harm competition. |
| (c) | Upstream market 2: MTN and Vodacom are dominant and have SMP in the market for wholesale national roaming since there are only two operators that provide this service for coverage purposes in South Africa. MTN and Vodacom also have SMP as a result of vertical relationships that could harm competition. |
