Dow Jones Newswires quotes the CEO of Greek incumbent telco Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation (OTE), the owner of local cellular market leader Cosmote, as saying that regulatory authorities will sanction the proposed merger of second- and third-placed cellcos Vodafone Greece and Wind Hellas. Michael Tsamaz said that he believed that the merger would be approved, and warned that if not, there was the risk of ‘another bankrupt company’ in debt-ridden Greece. Tsamaz also stated that he approved of the merger, calling it a ‘healthy move’, as he would prefer a less fragmented market with more dominant participants focused on long-term profitability.
