Consolidation
Strand Consult has analyzed 4-3 mobile mergers for many years across the world. We have described the cases that the EU’s DG Competition has rejected and the cases that have been approved outside the EU.

Strand Consult’s research project “Why four to three mobile mergers fail” offers new research and powerful facts about mobile industry consolidation in USA, EU, and around the world. Strand Consult’s goal is to lift the level of merger review in quantitative analysis, improve the credibility and transparency of antitrust decisions, and protect agencies from regulatory capture. Companies need to be smarter in their consolidation strategies; antitrust authorities need to improve their toolsets and measurement techniques; and policymakers need to modernize the standard of review.
