BUENOS AIRES, June 29 (Reuters) - Argentina's anti-trust regulator on Friday approved a merger between Telecom Argentina TEC2.BA and cable TV provider Cablevisión CVH.BA , allowing the creation of the largest telecommunications group in the country.
The CNDC regulator attached several conditions to the deal, which was also approved by Argentina's communications regulator in December, including shares divestment. Argentina and Cablevision announced their intention to merge earlier this year following a policy change by market-friendly President Mauricio Macri's government that allows phone companies to also offer paid television.
