The CMA has referred the anticipated acquisition by Viasat, Inc. of Connect Topco Limited (Inmarsat) for an in-depth investigation. This assessment will identify whether this merger has resulted, or could result, in a substantial lessening of competition within a market or markets in the United Kingdom.
