Abstract subject:
The primary aim of the study is twofold: to identify methodological issues and develop insights which can be effectively applied in future ex-post evaluation projects; and to carry out an ex-post evaluation of two consummated mergers in the mobile telecommunications industry. The mobile telecom industry is an industry of significant interest for merger control, as the European mobile telecom sector has witnessed several recent mergers between independent mobile network operators in a number of different national markets. The two cases we study are the T-Mobile/tele.ring merger in Austria and the T-Mobile/Orange merger in the Netherlands.The mobile telecom industry also presents a number of interesting specificities (complex tariff offers, non-linear prices) that this study tries to address and that might also be relevant to other industries.
