(Reuters) – Britain’s competition watchdog said on Tuesday it would refer the UK telecom tower deal between Spain’s Cellnex and Hong Kong’s CK Hutchison for a deeper “Phase 2” investigation.
Last year, Cellnex said it would buy 24,600 telecom towers across Europe from CK Hutchison, which owns the Three mobile network in the United Kingdom, for 10 billion euros ($11.83 billion).
