Viewed of these acts related to competition in different countries, they have the related provisions to face the merger. However, the ‘final’ shape of the regulatory policy has not shown, apparently, because the telecommunications industry changed remarkably in the digital age.
Whether the merger of the network distribution industry with the equipment industry is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ thing, it seems likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
