Canal Satelite Says Files Complaint Vs Telefonica

MADRID, Aug 1 (Reuter) - Canal Satelite Digital, the Canal
Plus backed digital television platform in Spain, said
late Thursday it was filing a complaint with the European Union
Competition Commission against Telefonica de Espana .

Telefonica leads the rival Via Digital platform.

Canal Satelite said it was protesting at Telefonica's
purchase of a 25 percent stake in Antena 3 television station
and a controlling stake in its GMA subsidiary. It said the
Antena 3 buy represented an abuse of Telefonica's dominant
position and contravened the Treaty of Rome.

Telefonica's Antena 3 purchase will give it a indirect 15
percent stake in Canal Satelite itself, as well as access to
lucrative football rights.

Industry analysts say the soccer rights are crucial to make
the investment-heavy platforms profitable.

The commission should urgently open an infringment case
against the Spanish telecoms giant, Canal Satelite said.
