CNA938 Rewind - Simba-M1 merger suspended: What’s next?

Singapore’s biggest proposed telco merger has hit a major roadblock. IMDA has suspended its review of Simba’s takeover of M1 after concerns emerged over the former’s alleged use of unassigned radio frequency spectrum. Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman look at how the deal got here, why regulators are stepping in, and what the pause could mean for Singapore’s telecom market, consumers and the future of the $1.43 billion merger. For that, they speak with Manoj Menon, Managing Director, Twimbit.
