PUBLIC VERSION: COMMERCIAL-IN-CONFIDENCE INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDACTED An economic assessment of the likely competitive effects arising from the proposed HKT/CSL transaction RBB Economics, 28 January 2014 RBB Economics Page 1 PUBLIC VERSION: COMMERCIAL-IN-CONFIDENCE INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDACTED RBB Economics RBB Economics provides independent, expert economic advice on all aspects of competition law, and is one of the largest independent specialist providers of economic advice on competition law investigations. Our experience extends across the full range of issues arising under competition law and related commercial litigation and disputes across a wide range of jurisdictions. Over the years, we have been involved in many of the most high-profile competition cases, advising clients in nearly all European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, China, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Our economists have worked for the merging parties on one third of all EU Phase II mergers in the last five years, many more Phase I cases, and on numerous cases before national authorities. This work has routinely included the analysis of the typical competition concerns potentially raised by both horizontal and vertical mergers, as well as less common issues such as the impact of mergers on buyer power, media plurality and the public interest. We have worked on numerous cases in the telecommunications and media sectors, including mergers of Mobile Network Operators, Fixed Network Operators and operators of cable networks.
