The CMA highlighted that the merger of Three and Vodafone could result in higher prices for consumers, reduced investment in the U.K. mobile networks, and poorer service.
The combined entity's market share would rise to almost one-third, likely limiting competition and making it difficult for MVNOs to secure affordable wholesale deals.
An important finding from the CMA's investigation was that having four major players currently in the market helps maintain competitive prices.
The CMA expressed concerns that the merger would diminish the incentive for separate companies to invest in network coverage, thereby harming the overall market.
