According to Zong spokespeople, if the commission approves this transaction, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd.’s market share will increase to 36.50 percent.
The Zong representatives expressed concern about the merger during the second part of the assessment, arguing that the combined business will grow to be a very huge entity. They contended that it would be able to manage the telecom industry’s upstream, wholesale, and retail businesses.
Salman Amin, Abdul Rashid Sheikh, and Dr. Kabir Ahmed Sidhu, the chairman of the CCP, made up the bench.
Zong representatives argued the case by offering a thorough analysis that concentrated on competitive dynamics, possible market power concentration, and the wider effects of the merger on the telecom industry.
