Resumen

Will S.A. sued Claro Chile S.A. for alleged predatory pricing and abuse of dominant position in the public telephony market, specifically regarding Claro's 'Hogar' plans. The plaintiff argued that Claro's prices for on-net calls were below cost and discriminatory. The Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia analyzed the relevant market and found that Claro did not hold a dominant position due to its moderate market share and the presence of strong competitors like Movistar. The court concluded that the alleged anticompetitive conduct was not proven and rejected the demand in its entirety. However, the court did not award costs to the defendant because the plaintiff had plausible grounds for litigation.
