(Telecompaper) The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation into Hutchison's acquisition of O2 UK. The Commission said it's concerned that the merger of O2 and 3 UK could lead to higher prices, less choice and reduced innovation for mobile customers in the UK. The merger of O2 and 3 would create the UK's largest mobile operator and reduce the market from four network operators to three.
