Vodafone UK and Three UK's proposed merger deal, combining two major mobile network operators in the UK, is being investigated by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for potential anticompetitive effects. The CMA's Phase 1 investigation raised concerns that the merger could lead to higher prices, reduced quality, and hinder competition in the market, impacting not only consumers but also smaller mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) like Sky Mobile, Lebara, and Lyca Mobile. The CMA is particularly focused on assessing the impact of the deal on competition and investment in the UK mobile networks, with Vodafone and Three given a deadline to propose solutions before facing a Phase 2 investigation.
