Is Europe entering a new phase of mobile consolidation?

This short extract from Analysys Mason’s M&A Predictions podcast features Charles Murray, Partner, and Alessandro Ravagnolo, Partner, discussing the renewed momentum behind mobile market consolidation in Europe. In this bite-sized segment Charles explores why 4-to-3 consolidation is firmly back on the agenda, what has changed since earlier European deals, and why recent regulatory decisions are being viewed as a potential inflection point for the sector. He looks at where consolidation activity is most likely to emerge next, the role of network-sharing as an alternative path, and the implications for operators, investors and infrastructure players. The conversation is particularly relevant for senior decision makers navigating sustained investment pressure, returns on capital and regulatory complexity across European mobile markets.
