British regulators said the tie-up can proceed if both companies sign "binding commitments to invest billions" to roll out a 5G network across the U.K.

Britain's competition regulator on Thursday approved the merger between telecommunication firms Vodafone and Three in the U.K., subject to certain conditions.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said the £15 billion ($19 billion) tie-up should be allowed to proceed if both companies sign "binding commitments to invest billions" to roll out a combined 5G network across the U.K.
