Telecommunications has become an indispensable sector in our lives, serving as a primary supporter of electronic commerce. Especially with most countries moving towards liberalizing their markets for free competition and transitioning to regulated competition, this competition has collided with the reality of the proliferation of practices that constitute restrictions or violations of the provisions of this competition in the telecommunications market.1 These practices have diversified into two categories: individual acts involving abuse of dominant position, and collective acts in the form of agreements and concentrations that contravene competition regulations.2 It has become necessary to regulate and restrict these practices to preserve fair competition through authorities that adopt supervision and control over them to prevent any infringement of competition rules in the market, whether it is domestic or international, especially if goods and services are imported.3 In this study, we shed light on the legal means and mechanisms aimed at protecting competition from these practices. If these practices exceed the permissible limits, they can lead to monopolies and market domination, resulting in harm to both customers and consumers on one hand, and to the national economy on the other.
