SYDNEY, Feb 13 (Reuters) - An Australian Federal court judge
said on Thursday an agreed A$15 billion ($10.1 billion) merger
between a local joint venture of Britain's Vodafone Group PLC
and internet provider TPG Telecom Ltd would not
lessen competition.
The ruling appears to overturn a decision by antitrust
regulator the Australian Competition and the Consumer
Commission, which blocked the planned deal last year.
