Vodafone clashes with watchdog over Three merger | EUROtoday

The proposed merger between Vodafone and Three might result in larger costs or a lowered service for hundreds of thousands of cellular customers, the UK’s competitors watchdog has stated.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) stated it had explicit issues these clients least capable of afford cellular providers can be most affected.

The CMA has been finishing up an in-depth investigation into the deliberate merger since March.

But Vodafone and Three stated they disagreed with the CMA’s findings, arguing the deal would enhance competitors and funding.
