BRUSSELS, Feb 14 (Reuters) - EU regulators may ease their rules against mobile telecoms mergers and broaden telecoms rules to get Big Tech and others to help fund the rollout of 5G, according to a European Commission document seen by Reuters.
Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE), opens new tab, Orange (ORAN.PA), opens new tab, Telefonica (TEF.MC), opens new tab and Telecom Italia (TLIT.MI), opens new tab have long lobbied EU antitrust regulators to loosen rules that frown on mergers that reduce the number of mobile operators from four to three unless substantial remedies are offered.
