Double standards
Can someone explain how Three merging with O2 is bad for consumers but BT buying EE isn't? The combined BT-EE operation still has a near monopoly on fixed line infrastructure, is a dominant player in streaming TV services and now it owns by far the largest mobile network. BT was gifted a fixed line telephone network by the taxpayer and EE was gifted a big chunk of 4G spectrum early which it used to become the dominant 4G provider. OFCOM has not just protected but enhanced the position of dominant providers.
