ASX Sharemarket News
In ASX sharemarket news, the Federal Court case for TPG Telecom Ltd (ASX: TPM) to try to merge with Vodafone is expected to start today.
The idea behind the proposed merger is that it would create enormous synergies for both businesses, particularly with the need to only build one 5G network rather than two.
However, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission blocked the merger initially on grounds that it would lower competition whereas TPG building its own mobile network would increase competition.
After the Huawei equipment ban TPG says it’s not going to make its own network now.
