Summary

Mergers and acquisitions have become an important part of the telecoms industry in recent years. With over a hundred mergers and acquisitions taking place between 2006 and 2007 from the top ten operators only, and an attached value of over €40 billion, there is no doubt that today's telecoms industry is as busy as ever. In this report, we examine the drivers behind this flurry of activity and analyse what the future may bring.
