Viasat and Inmarsat $7.3b tie-up delayed over competition concerns

Rafferty added:"Ultimately, airlines could be faced with a worse deal because of this merger, which could have knock-on effects for UK consumers as in-flight connectivity becomes more widespread."

"This is still a nascent, dynamic, and rapidly evolving business, with existing providers and extremely well-financed new entrants bringing new technologies and new business models to increase adoption among airlines, passengers, and aircraft types.

Megabuyte noted:"It is perhaps unsurprising that Viasat's CMA response suggests that it would rather go to Phase 2 than give up some of the combined IFC business, given how a recovering airline sector drove both companies' second-quarter financial performance, with IFC, in particular, the star of the show."
