The Ministry of Communications approved the merger between Bezeq International and "yes"

Posted on Jul 19, 2021 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

The Ministry of Communications announced that Minister Yoaz Handel "accepted the recommendation of the professional echelon in the ministry and approved the transfer of the unified license of Bezeq International and the satelite tv company Yes.
As part of the conditions for approval, the firm acted to ensure that Bezeq International's customers would not be harmed, and demanded that Bezeq International and Yes undertake that the subscribers be transferred in a manner that would not harm them and the level of service provided to them.
In addition, in order to maintain competition in the communications market, the ministry conditioned the approval on further structural separation between Bezeq and the merged company - Yes, in a way that would curb Bezeq's ability to leverage its market power and harm competition, making it easier for consumers to purchase services and receive services.
The ministry believes that the move will not harm the level of competitiveness in the communications market and will continue to act in order to maintain a balanced "playground" that allows fair competition between the various players in the market.
