The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) provisionally approved the Vodafone-Three merger, contingent on commitments to keep prices stable and expand 5G across the UK. With 27 million customers, the merger could enhance competition, provided Vodafone and Three maintain price caps for three years and honor deals with smaller networks. Final CMA decision expected by 7 December.
