The merger of "Datagroup-Volia" and Lifecell with an investment of $1.5 billion over five years will cause major changes in the Ukrainian telecommunications sector, increasing competition and improving the quality of services for consumers.
New telecommunications platform
The first steps of the combined company
After the merger, the new company will focus on the purchase of frequencies to expand network coverage. By incorporating the experience and technologies of NJJ Group, it will accelerate the development of infrastructure, unification of IT systems and technical networks, which will allow offering converged services, reduce costs and improve the price-quality ratio for customers.
Cyber security as a priority
Given the growing cyber threats, the new platform will invest heavily in cyber security, using the expertise of European partners. This will make it possible to counter cyber-attacks more effectively and restore services faster in case of incidents.
Competition and frequency tenders
Joining of strategic investor Xavier Niel will increase competition on telemarketing, restraining price growth. At the same time, competition in frequency tenders will increase, increasing revenues to the state budget. It is expected that the starting price for frequencies of 2100, 2300, 2600 MHz will increase significantly.
The fate of the deal depends on the court's decision
The completion of the deal depends on the lifting of the lien on Lifecell's corporate rights and the approval of the AMCU. April 16 will be a key day - the fate of the deal will depend on the court's decision on Turkcell's appeal.
Investments in the combined company
The total amount of investment in the created platform will be $1.5 billion over five years. Horizon Capital and the management of "Datagroup-Volia" will also invest significant funds in minority shares.

I think that the competition in the telecom market will only grow, so we can count on more favorable tariffs and innovative solutions. I wonder if they will provide 5G in the near future? 📶

A merger of this scale will undoubtedly change the landscape of telecommunications in Ukraine. But I would like them not to forget about the quality of customer service. However, their success will depend on this. 🙂

You don't need to tell me about these new-fangled things! 😒 All the same, today's youth are too fascinated by these gadgets and the Internet. In my time, everything was much simpler and more reliable!

I would like them to have more flexible tariff plans for families and companies. After all, it is not easy to choose the best option for all family members or company employees. 👨👩👧👦

The main question is whether both companies will be able to effectively integrate and implement a joint development strategy. It is a difficult process, but if they succeed, we will have a new market leader. 🏆

It seems to me that one of the key aspects should be the expansion of optical networks throughout the country. This will provide high-speed Internet even in remote corners of Ukraine. 📡

In my opinion, it will be important for the new company to stay close to the consumer and respond quickly to market demands. Otherwise, they may be overtaken by young and flexible startups. 💡
