Big development in MultiChoice-SABC merger case

The Competition Tribunal has dismissed MultiChoice's exception application regarding an alleged notifiable merger between the broadcaster and the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC).

"We are not satisfied that no cause of action has been made out that the agreement gave MultiChoice the power to influence the policy of SABC, which, if established, would constitute a merger in terms section 12(2)(g) of the Act," the Tribunal said.
 
Was wondering where this under the table dealings will come out again......multichoice double standards at its best. Didn't the deal also include SABC's video catalog....
