The CNMC authorizes the sale of Vodafone, while Brussels delays the approval of the merger of Orange and MásMóvil to February 22. The 50/50 merger will create a company valued at 18.6 billion euros and a leader in mobile telephone and fiber optic customers.
The companies have already presented a series of divestments that involve delivering mobile frequencies and an access contract to their mobile network to Digi. The move compensates for the tense calm around Telefónica, which is waiting for the State to acquire 10% of the capital.
