Smaller ISPs urge more diligence on the proposed Vodacom-Maziv fibre deal. connectivity M&A

last year by CIVH after it folded Vumatel and DFA into one giant fibre infrastructure company.

“Looking at the Vodacom and Maziv situation, it becomes evident that with this merger, Maziv would hold a significant share of network assets. This spans the gamut from fibre networks, to mobile telephone towers, and quite a bit more,” says Swanepoel. “As history shows, mergers that seem to promise public benefit often alter market dynamics, pushing incumbents to adapt only when faced with competition. It’s essential we stay vigilant on the potential influence of this merger and its impact on our telecommunications landscape, balancing both public interests and market diversity,” he notes.

“In my humble opinion, the proposed merger does bring certain looming dangers to the surface. One predominant concern is the potential squeezing out of smaller internet service providers by the telecoms giant, Vodacom. As someone who has keenly observed and participated in the evolution of our industry, I feel obliged to express my concern over this.
