FTC reviewing proposed Flow price increase

The Fair Trading Commission (FTC) is reviewing the proposed price increase by telecommunications provider Flow.

This was revealed in a statement from the FTC this afternoon, in response to Flow informing customers of an increase of up to $10 for bandwidth services.

The Commission says that, while its authority does not extend to the rates charged for mobile or broadband services, it does have the authority to examine the announced increase under the Consumer Protection Act, Cap. 326D, including whether the relevant business practices comply with the requirements of the Act.
