IMDA suspends M1-Simba merger review during spectrum probe
Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) has suspended its assessment of the proposed consolidation between M1 and Simba pending an investigation into spectrum-related matters.
- IMDA paused its review of the proposed M1-Simba deal in Singapore.
- The suspension is linked to an ongoing investigation into spectrum-related matters.
- The decision affects regulatory review of a transaction involving two Singapore mobile operators.
IMDA is the telecoms and media regulator in Singapore. The authority said it has put on hold its assessment of the proposed consolidation between M1 and Simba until the spectrum investigation is resolved.
M1 and Simba are mobile network operators (MNOs), meaning companies that own and operate mobile network infrastructure and spectrum licences. The proposed transaction would combine two operators in Singapore's mobile market, but IMDA has not completed its review.
The available information does not state a timeline for the investigation or for when IMDA will resume its assessment of the proposed M1-Simba consolidation. The suspension means the regulatory process is paused while the spectrum-related investigation continues.
