Vertical Mergers: Paradigm shift or evolution?

A month before a US court ruled to allow AT&T to acquire Time Warner, GCR held its seventh annual Telecoms, Media and Technology conference in London. Allen & Overy partner Antonio Bavasso moderated a panel on vertical mergers in the TMT sectors; the speakers were Cristina Caffarra at Charles River Associates, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton partner Daniel Culley, Sky’s chief strategy and commercial officer, Mai Fyfield, and University of Zurich professor of economics Gregory Crawford.
