(h) performing any of the following actions, where such actions have the effect
of impeding or preventing the competitor’s entry into, or expansion in, a
market:
i) deliberately reducing the margin of profit available to a competitor
that requires wholesale telecommunications services from the
dominant service provider, by increasing the prices for the wholesale
telecommunications services required by that competitor, or
decreasing the prices of the retail telecommunications services in
markets where they compete, or both;
ii) requiring or inducing a supplier to refrain from selling to a
competitor;
iii) adopting technical specifications for networks or systems to
deliberately prevent interoperability with a network or system of a
competitor;
iv) failing to make available to other service providers on a timely basis
technical specifications, information about essential facilities, or
other commercially relevant information which is required by such
other service providers to provide telecommunications services and
which is not available from other sources; and
v) using information obtained from competitors, for purposes related to
interconnection or supply of telecommunications services by the
dominant service provider, to compete with such competitors;
(i) any other action or activity engaged in by a dominant service provider that
the LTA determines in accordance with Section 29 to have the effect, or to be
likely to have the effect, of materially restricting or distorting competition in
a telecommunications market.
29. Other Anti-Competitive Practices

indirectly determine which person will win a contract or business opportunity
