The Competition Commission Mauritius announced yesterday that it will investigates a suspected abuse of a monopoly situation by the Bhunjun Group and Betamax, just a few months after the state-owned entity STC has been sentenced by the Privy Council to pay of over 115 million US Dollars to Betamax.
