Data privacy can take the form of non-price competition and abuse of dominance can lower privacy protection, a study by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has said.
The study also made observations about other non-price factors such as quality of service (QoS), data speeds and bundled offerings, which are likely to be the new drivers of competitive rivalry between service providers in telecom sector in addition to just price.
CCI noted that an aspect of data in the context of competition in digital communications market is the conflict between allowing access and protecting consumer privacy.
Privacy can take the form of non-price competition, it said. Abuse of dominance can take the form of lowering the privacy protection and therefore falls within the ambit of antitrust as low privacy standard implies lack of consumer welfare. On other non-price factors of competition, CCI found that consumers ranked network coverage at the top followed by customer service, tariff packaging and lower tariffs as the most important factors for the preference of a particular network.
Non-price competition refers to competition between companies that focuses on benefits, extra services, good workmanship, product quality - plus all other features and measures that do not involve altering prices. It contrasts with price competition, in which rivals try to gain market share by reducing their prices. Non-price competition is often adopted by the competing players in a sector in order to prevent a price war, which can lead to a damaging spiral of price cuts.
Non-price competition is a marketing strategy that typically includes promotional expenditures such as sales staff, sales promotions, special orders, free gifts, coupons, and advertising.
Dominance is not considered bad per se but its abuse is. Abuse is stated to occur when an enterprise or a group of enterprises uses its dominant position in the relevant market in an exclusionary or/and an exploitative manner.

Which of the following can be considered as non-price elements in the telecom sector?

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:If we ignore the hype that accompanies and follows the presentation of the Central government’s annual Budget, there are principally two strands in it that have attracted attention. The first is the claim of Finance Minister that in a growth-accelerating intervention, the step-up in capital or investment expenditure during the second government term is to be sustained with rise from the 2022-23 revised estimate of Rs.7.3 lakh crore to Rs.10 lakh crore in 2023-24. The second is the evidence that budgetary allocations point to significant reductions or scaling down of growth in social and welfare expenditures in several areas, from the employment guarantee programme to health.Budgetary provisions for the coming financial year are hardly sacrosanct. Most allocations fall short of budgeted estimates by the end of the year. And some are increased, based on supplementary demands, during the year. Moreover, ever since the presentation of the Budget has been brought forward from the last day of February to the first day, even the revised estimates of revenue mobilised and expenditures incurred in the ongoing financial year are more in the nature of projections, as there are still two months left in the financial year and actual data for the most recent month/s have not been collated yet. Given the evidence that the government has turned increasingly callous when ensuring the integrity of official statistics, it is to be expected that some of these revised estimates are also influenced by larger agendas embedded in the Budget. For example, in what is an implausible coincidence, receipts from both corporation and income taxes as per the revised estimates for 2023-24 are both exactly Rs.1.15 lakh crore higher than the budgeted figures of Rs.7.2 lakh crore in the case of the former and Rs.7 lakh crore in the latter. What needs to be assessed, therefore, are the larger trends the Budget bares, especially the two noted earlier. What has surprised many is the Finance Minister’s decision to refrain from hiking expenditures and cut back on social spending in a pre-election year, which makes this Budget the last full Budget to be presented during the second term government.Q.What are the two main aspects of the Central governments annual Budget discussed in the passage?
