Which? comments on the CMA investigation into the Vodafone and Three merger
1 min read
Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said:
"A good, affordable mobile connection is essential to daily life and this merger between Vodafone and Three will have a significant impact on the telecoms market.
"There are currently four mobile network operators in the UK - EE, O2, Three and Vodafone - which smaller mobile providers then piggyback off. Reducing the number of network providers from four to three risks reducing the options available to consumers, raising prices and lowering the quality of services available.
"The CMA investigation will need to thoroughly assess the implications of this merger to determine whether it will be harmful to consumers."
