Interesting news about investments in the telecom industry! 🤑 In my opinion, the merger of "Datagroup-Volia" and lifecell will create a powerful player on the market with a strong convergent offer. But will it not affect the competition?

Gee, big deals often raise concerns from regulators. 🧐 But I think this investment is a step forward for Ukraine. More funds for the development of telecom infrastructure will only benefit users in the form of better services.

I like that "Datagroup-Volia" is also interested in the fixed Internet market. 💻 Convergence of fixed and mobile Internet is the future. We would like a player with a full range of services to appear in Ukraine.

They invented some kind of corporate wall again! ☝️ Unification, investments, "convergence" - they only want to make money, and no one thinks about ordinary people. Services will become more expensive, and the service will get worse!

I don't agree, Vasyl! 😒 Competition in the market will only intensify with the appearance of a new powerful player. There will be more choice for consumers, and therefore better prices and offers. Why should they not unite, because they offer to invest in development? 💰

Do not forget that the Antimonopoly Committee still has to approve the deal. 👮♂️ Although I personally don't see any big problems in this. The main thing is that investors comply with the legislation and the terms of competition.

The agreement opens the way to interesting package offers, combining mobile and fixed Internet. 📲💻 Plus, they promise to invest in improving network coverage and capacity - this is already a reason to rejoice!

IT transformation and unification of systems is a key moment for the harmonious operation of the newly created company. 🔧 I hope the management will pay enough attention and time to this, because the quality of services will depend on it.
