The Fair Trading Commission (FTC) has conducted a review of consumers choice of bundled packages in the telecommunications market.
The FTC says with the issuing of a mobile spectrum license to Symbiote in May, the expectation is that there will be increased competition with the main players courting tech-savvy subscribers with a variety of bundled and unbundled products - which will include Internet, Cable TV, mobile and fixed-line voice services.
The FTC says the main objective of the review was to assess how subscribers are being impacted in the sector.
The organisation notes that changes will have an uncertain impact on subscribers as the companies face a trade-off between more Cable TV options on one hand, and faster connection speed and voice minutes on the other .
In particular, packages offering more Cable TV channels are typically the ones with the slower connection speeds and fewer voice minutes.
The FTC says as the industry continues to evolve and mature, subscribers will benefit from competition.
