Answer # 1 #

Mobile operators in Africa's most advanced economy have to deal with an increasing number of phone users and the rapid growth of data consumption because they can't get enough radio spectrum.

The fixed line operator said in a statement that the Competition Commission's opposition to outsourcing the radio access network was the reason why they decided to end their negotiations.

The Competition Commission said it would ask the Competition Tribunal to prohibit the deal because it was likely to substantially prevent or diminish competition in the mobile services market.

The Commission said in a statement that a deal would limit the growth of the mobile business of Telkom and make it difficult for it to compete against Vodacom and MTN.

I am confident that our recommendation to block the merger is sound, because I am satisfied with our legal and economic analysis of the proposal. Commissioner Bonakele said the decision protects competition in telecommunications, which is an important market for the economy.
