VTR and Claro cleared to merge in Chile

The proposed merger of VTR and Claro Chile has been cleared by Chile’s FNE (Fiscalia Nacional Economica / National Economic Prosecutor).

As reported by Diario Financiero, following its investigation the FNE was satisfied that the merger will not harm competition in the market – although the body did stipulate that Claro must return 10MHz of spectrum from both the 3.5GHz and 1700MHz bands to address antitrust concerns.
