CMA
market investigation into Motorola mobile radio services
The
Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided to make a market
investigation in respect of the supply of land mobile radio (LMR) network
services for public safety in Great Britain.
The
CMA has raised concerns about the extreme market concentration given a monopoly
provider (Motorola) and a monopsony buyer (the Home Office)), and the asymmetry
of information between Motorola and the Home Office
The
CMA has raised concerns that Motorola’s dual position as owner of Airwave
Solutions and key supplier in the design and roll-out of the now delayed new
Emergency Services Network means that it has an incentive to delay or shape the
roll-out of the ESN to its advantage.
