What will you get after merger
What will you get if they are one company? Will you think they will be the next Optus or Telstra. Maybe “Yes”. Vodafone and TPG have 20% of Australia’s mobile phone market and 22% of the fixed-line market. It’s closing to Optus but half of Telstra. During the last year – 2017, Vodafone lost their customer significantly and released lots of promotion to catch the customer’s heart but not very effective. However, once they are merged, the number is back and do you think they will pay more attention to the customer?
Does it mean we need to pay more for our mobile phone plans or NBN plans? The answer is “No”. Although they are not competing with each other, we still have more than 40 communication service providers in the market. Why we have to worry about it?
