Fixed–mobile mergers and acquisitions: case studies and analysis
"Most operators profiled have realised annualised cost-related synergies of 10–15% of the combined pre-M&A EBITDA."
Operators offering both fixed and mobile services have started to bundle and cross-sell parallel services through fixed–mobile convergence (FMC) offers, thereby putting pressure on standalone operators. This has led to a wave of consolidation across Europe in order to preserve revenue and realise cost-related synergies.
