EC approves MásMóvil, Orange merger, Spain.

The European Commission has approved the merger between Spanish mobile network operators MásMóvil and Orange, with certain conditions. The merger, valued at €19.6 billion, will create the largest operator in Spain. Concerns were raised about the potential restriction of competition and price increases for consumers. As part of the approval, MásMóvil and Orange must divest spectrum to Digi and agree to a national roaming framework. The commitments aim to ensure continued competition and benefit consumers in terms of prices, quality, and 5G connectivity. [Extracted from the article]
