BONN (dpa-AFX) - Consumer advocates have accused the Federal Network Agency of failing to act because the right to a price reduction in the event of poor mobile communications has so far achieved nothing. The authority has failed to develop a measuring instrument, although it should have done so according to an amendment to the law in 2021, said lawyer Felix Flosbach from the NRW consumer advice center to the German Press Agency. The Bonn authority announced that it would make the instrument available in the course of the year. Only then will consumers be able to use the right. They can then enforce a price reduction or contract termination if their cell phone network is considerably worse than contractually guaranteed. This is already possible on the fixed-line Internet. However, the necessary checks on breitbandmessung.de are time-consuming./wdw/DP/zb
