Comisia Europeană a aprobat marţi tranzacţia prin care grupul francez de telecomunicaţii Orange vrea să îşi combine operaţiunile din Spania cu operatorul spaniol MasMovil.

Inspectorii ANPC au aplicat companiei de telecomunicații Orange România amenzi contravenționale de 150.000 de lei și au dispus încetarea practicii comerciale înșelătoare.

Orange, leader of Romania’s telecom market, part of the French group of the same name, will invest EUR200 million on the local market this year.

Orange, Vodafone and RCS&RDS, the largest players on the local telecommunications market, will pay EUR432 million to the Romanian State for 5G frequency licenses, according to representatives of the country’s communications market regulator ANCOM.

French group Orange has a long-term plan for Romania’s market and is poised to step up local investments to keep its leading position on the segment of mobile telephony and also gain ground in the area of fixed services, according to the representatives of the group’s top management team and local subsidiary, six months after the completion of Telekom Fix acquisition, an almost EUR300 million deal.

Greece’s OTE has officially announced the estimated cost to pay to buy the former Romtelecom stake in the former Cosmote Romania, the last hurdle for the takeover of the former fixed telephony monopoly in Romania by France’s Orange.

The European Commission on Wednesday approved the deal that changes the telecom market in Romania, the acquisition of Telekom’s fixed services division – formerly Romtelecom, by Orange, which will thus become a giant with fixed and mobile operations and almost EUR2 billion annual revenue.

Telecom operator Orange said it would open nine Orange 5G laboratories, which will enable developers and players on the global market to implement the projects based on 5G technology, according to company representatives.
