EUROPEAN COMMISSION OPENS IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION INTO VIASAT, INMARSAT MERGER

The European Commission (EC) is opening an in-depth investigation into Viasat
and Inmarsat’s proposed merger, citing concern the merger would hurt competition
in the in-flight connectivity (IFC) market for airlines. The EC announced Feb.
13 that it will go through an in-depth investigation in 90 working days with a
deadline of June 29, 2023 to come to a decision. 

According to the press release, a preliminary EC investigation found that Viasat
and Inmarsat are close competitors to supply broadband to airlines in the
European Economic Area (EEA). The EC found there are few alternative suppliers
and the market has a high technological and regulatory barrier to entry. 



The EC noted that the satellite market is going through transition with
Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellite players entering the market, and the EC
will investigate if these new players will put “sufficient competitive pressure”
on the combined company in the future. 

“In-flight connectivity is a nascent and growing market in Europe. Viasat and
Inmarsat are two leading suppliers of connectivity services during flights and
they compete head to head to serve European airlines. With our in-depth
investigation, we aim to ensure that the acquisition of Inmarsat by Viasat does
not lead to higher prices and lesser quality for in-flight connectivity services
on flights in Europe,” commented Margrethe Vestager, EC executive vice-president
in charge of competition policy. 

The transaction is facing a similar review in the United Kingdom, where Inmarsat
is based. The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is going through a
deeper investigation after a preliminary review released in October 2022. The
CMA expects to publish a final report on how the Viasat/Inmarsat transaction
will affect IFC competition by the end of March. 

Viasat announced the deal to acquire Inmarsat in November 2021, and it was
initially expected to close in the second half of 2022.
