On the backhaul, paragraph 2.2.2 of the recently published review addresses concerns with the current business model and it states:
Under the concession agreement, enet must treat all its customers in a transparent, non-discriminatory and equal way. Given that ETNL and its backhaul business is a related company of enet, enet may have an incentive and the ability to discriminate against customers who buy only MAN products in favour of customers who buy MAN-plus-backhaul products.
There is an incentive to discriminate in favour of their own customers. Is that Mr. Evans's understanding of that section of the review?
