Herald Sun: Cheaper phone and internet deals on the way for consumers after Vodafone and TPG merger
WhistleOut's Joseph Hanlon speaks to the Herald Sun about how Australia's telco market could change following the approval of the Vodafone and TPG merger.
Telco comparison website WhistleOut’s spokesman Joseph Hanlon said the merger would “create a compelling alternative to Telstra and Optus”.
“This could result in them expanding Vodafone’s mobile network further into regional areas and building a fast 5G network designed to compete head-to-head with the NBN,” he said.
“If nothing else, we should see really competitive pricing that will have consumers thinking twice before signing up with the other major providers.”
Mr Hanlon said the “ripples” of the merger would be felt across the telco and internet market and result in “big wins for consumers”.
“There are plenty of other flow-on effects that may result from an increase in competition, like the smaller telcos pumping up the value in the phone plan offers, to cheaper NBN plans as 5G technology muscles in on the home internet segment,” he said.
“We see the Vodafone TPG merger paving the way for better, cheaper phone and internet services for all Aussies.”
