VODAFONE-THREE MERGER EXPERT CALL WITH EX-CMA DIRECTOR OF MERGERS, TOM SMITH

Following the announcement of the Vodafone UK/ Three UK merger, we are delighted to host a client call with Tom Smith, a partner at Geradin Partners and former Director of Mergers at the CMA (UK Competition Authority).
​​​​
The call will provide an expert view on the specifics of the announced merger and the approach competition regulators will take to reviewing it. Key topics for the call will include:

• How will the CMA assess the merger, and how long will it take?
• What remedies are the CMA likely to impose, if any?
• To what extent would increased availability of fixed wireless access ('FWA') services in the broadband market impact the merger assessment?
• Implications from the CMA's decision to block the Microsoft/ Activision transaction?
• Significance of removing a Hong Kong-controlled entity from the UK mobile market?
