The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is provisionally approving the merger between Vodafone and Three, contingent on commitments to consumer pricing and enhanced 5G infrastructure. Initially concerned the merger could impact competition and prices, the CMA now believes proposed measures can mitigate these risks. Vodafone expressed optimism, stating the merger would benefit UK customers by delivering improved mobile services. The CMA is inviting feedback on its proposals, with a final decision expected by December 7, marking a vital step for the mobile sector that could redefine competition and service delivery in the UK.
