Lazio's regional administrative
court on Friday accepted an appeal by Italy's major pay-TV
operators Sky, Mediaset and Mediaset Premium, as well as the
Lega Calcio soccer league and its advisor Infront, thus
annulling a decision by Italy's antitrust authority that had
imposed millions of euros' worth of fees for a June 2014
anti-competitive deal on Serie A soccer rights from 2015 to
2018.
Mediaset had been fined 51.4 million, Infront 9 million, Sky
4 million, and Lega Calcio 1.9 million.
The anti-trust authority said it will appeal to the Council
of State, Italy's highest administrative court.
