Stuart McIntosh, chairman of the independent inquiry group, stated that the merger is 'likely to boost competition in the UK mobile sector and should be allowed to proceed - but only if Vodafone and Three agree to implement our proposed measures.' This highlights the conditional nature of the approval and the regulatory oversight involved in such significant deals.
Vodafone's chief, Margherita Della Valle, emphasized the merger's potential to 'create a new force in the UK's telecoms market,' asserting it will provide 'wider coverage, faster speeds and better-quality connections across the UK.' This indicates a strong belief in the merger’s ability to enhance telecom services for consumers.
Canning Fok, deputy chairman of CK Hutchison, expressed confidence that the merger will enable 'customers across the country [to] benefit from world-beating network quality.' This suggests that both companies anticipate improved service levels as a result of their collaboration.
