The Turkish Competition Board announced it has opened an investigation into subscription-based, on-demand video service providers, including Netflix, Amazon, and Disney. The probe will examine whether these companies violated competition law through exclusive agreements and other restrictive practices.
The decision follows a preliminary inquiry into the market dynamics of streaming services in Turkey, indicating concerns about fair competition. This investigation could lead to regulatory changes or penalties if violations are found, impacting the operational strategies of these platforms in the country.
Netflix, along with its competitors, will need to cooperate with the Turkish authorities as the investigation proceeds. This action highlights the increasing global scrutiny on the competitive practices of major streaming services and their market dominance.
