Antitrust body clears Liberty’s purchase of Kabel BW

Germany’s antitrust body, the Bundeskartellamt, has announced it has cleared Liberty Global’s acquisition of the country’s third largest cableco by subscribers Kabel BW, subject to certain conditions and obligations. US cable company Liberty Global, which already owns Germany’s second largest cableco Unitymedia, offered a series of concessions in order to smooth the way for approval of the merger. Under one such remedy, housing associations with more than 800 housing units in the network areas of Unitymedia and Kabel BW will be granted a special contract termination right for retail TV services.
