Thank you Mahlangu

Telkom said in On Wednesday he has approached the Competition Court, seeking that the spectrum agreements between Vodacom and Rain declare a merger and therefore be notifiable in terms of the Competition Law.

“Telkom maintains that the merger is reportable because the multiple agreements between Vodacom and Rain give Vodacom the use and control over the deployment of Rain’s spectrum, including planning, deployment, maintenance and service of its radio access network,” he said. Telkom in a statement.

Telkom Group Executive for Regulatory Affairs and Government Relations Siyabonga Mahlangu said “Vodacom’s ability to control Rain’s spectrum strengthens its position as a dominant player in a highly concentrated market.”

“It is important that the effects of spectrum agreements on competition are analyzed,” Mahlangu said. This is particularly true “in light of the upcoming spectrum auction that will lay the groundwork for the nature of competition in the mobile market for the foreseeable future.” – (c) 2020 NewsCentral Media
