(Telecompaper) Telkom South Africa has asked the Competition Tribunal to declare the spectrum arrangements between Vodacom and Rain a merger that should have been notified in terms of the Competition Act. In a statement, Telkom said that the multiple agreements between Vodacom and Rain grant Vodacom use and control over the deployment of Rain's spectrum, including the planning, rollout, maintenance and service of its radio access network. This is equivalent to a merger of the two groups, the rival operator claims.
