CMA Approves Vodafone-Three Merger, Creating UK’s Largest Mobile Network. The £16.5 billion merger will create the nation’s largest mobile network with 27 million customers. Despite initial concerns that millions could face higher bills, the CMA now believes the merger will boost competition by improving 5G services. The approval comes with strict conditions. The new company must invest billions in 5G infrastructure, cap certain mobile tariffs and provide fair terms to smaller operators for at least three years. Both the CMA and Ofcom will oversee these commitments through annual progress reports. The CMA argues these measures will enhance competition and benefit consumers in the long term. This merger reduces the number of UK mobile networks from four to three, a significant shake-up in the industry.
