Telefónica partners warn UK CMA: blocking Netomnia deal hurts investment

Telefónica's partners, including InfraVia, are pressuring the UK's Competition and Markets Authority to approve the acquisition of Netomnia, warning that blocking it would deter investment and alleging the British state is favoring BT's potential takeover of TalkTalk. The deal is part of UK fiber consolidation; the CMA's decision will signal its stance on telecom M&A and investment climate.
