MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $ASTS #AST--AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (“AST SpaceMobile”) (NASDAQ: ASTS), the company building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones, designed for both commercial and government applications, and Vodafone Group Plc (Vodafone) (LSE: VOD), a leading European and African telecommunications company, announced today that they have entered into a definitive long-term commercial agreement through 2034. This is a significa.

Newly published regulatory disclosures from Vodafone Group PLC (LSE:VOD) have provided an insight into the financial rationale behind its £15 billion merger with Three. The combined telecoms business is predicted to achieve over £700 million in recurring annual cost and capital expenditure synergies by the fifth year after completion.

VOD receives approval for merger with Three UK. The merger, expected to be completed in the first half of 2025, will drive 5G investments across the U.K. and boost network coverage.

Vodafone has been restructuring, selling its towers segment and merging its U.K. operations with Three to improve fundamentals and reduce debt. Despite these efforts, Vodafone stock trades near all-time lows, presenting a compelling opportunity for value investors given its attractive valuation. The U.K. merger, expected to complete by mid-2025, will make Vodafone the largest telecom player in the U.K., enhancing market position and synergies.

Margherita Della Valle, the CEO of Vodafone, discusses the CMA's approval for a Vodafone and Three merger, and what the firm's next steps are.

Britain's decision to allow two of its four mobile networks to merge is the first big sign that regulators have taken on board the government's wish for them to prioritise economic growth and infrastructure investment over lower consumer prices.

The Competition and Markets Authority said the deal will likely boost competition in the U.K. mobile sector, but would only proceed if both companies implement certain conditions.

The U.K.'s antitrust regulator has greenlighted the longstanding planned merger between two of the country's biggest telecommunication operators.
