17 Dec 2024 Kakao Mobility Inc.Kakao Mobility blocked drivers of rival taxi services: KRW 15.1bn fine South KoreaAbuse of market power €10m

According to the KFTC (Korea Fair Trade Commission, Korea's competition authority), Kakao Mobility, dominant in app-based general taxi hailing with a 96% share (2022), required four competing franchise taxi operators (UT, TADA, Banban, Macaron Taxi) to sign partnership agreements granting real-time access to business-sensitive data and otherwise excluded their drivers from general hailing via Kakao T. Following its plenary deliberation on 25 September 2024, the KFTC ordered remedies and announced a provisional fine of KRW 72.4 billion; after the Securities and Futures Commission had determined that revenue must be recognised on a net basis, it announced on 17 December 2024 that the fine had been finally set at KRW 15.1 billion.

What organisations can take from it
