Comreg may block Vodafone/3 merger deal

Comreg may block a proposed deal between Vodafone and 3 to merge their Irish telecoms infrastructure in a measure designed to cut costs.

Comreg said they could not comment on the reported plans of two of Ireland’s largest mobile phone operators to develop a shared network.

A spokesperson for the regulator pointed to a previous document produced by ComReg that said the body would have policy concerns about any merger.
