The planned acquisition of Intelsat by SES is reportedly set to be finalised next week. The European Commission is widely expected to give its unconditional approval to the deal, which is valued at over $2.9 billion, following the British Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) approval granted on 2 June.
This merger is being viewed as a strategic move to establish a formidable European satellite player capable of competing with global giants like Starlink.
