Kernrechtsfrage
Whether SWITCH may be prohibited from letting its subsidiary benefit from advertising by SWITCH that is not available to other wholesale partners.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Advertising in the retail market falls outside the equal-treatment duty governing SWITCH’s public registry task; any competitive advantage for the subsidiary must be addressed by competition law, not by BAKOM supervision.
Extrahierte Begründung
SWITCH has a dual role: it performs a public task toward wholesale partners, but competes in the retail market like its peers. The contested advertising concerns retail activity and does not justify an administrative ban under the equal-treatment principle.
