Telefónica-led nexfibre owners challenge UK CMA over Netomnia deal, no remedies offered

Telefónica and its partners in nexfibre have formally challenged the UK Competition and Markets Authority's preliminary report on their acquisition of Netomnia, arguing it contains substantial flaws, and have declined to offer remedies. The CMA had provisionally concluded the deal could harm competition in the UK broadband market. The outcome will determine whether the acquisition proceeds, faces conditions, or is blocked, with implications for UK telecom market structure.
