UK regulator proposes price cap on Motorola as supplier of Airwave network
The UK's competition watchdog is proposing price controls on Motorola's role in running a controversial communications network for emergency services.
The ruling marks the latest milestone in a long-running program beset with controversy and postponements. Martin Coleman, chair of the CMA's independent inquiry group, said:"It is vital that the market for critical mobile radio network services used by our emergency services works well and provides an excellent service at a fair price.
Dating back to 2000, Airwave was set to be replaced by the 4G-based Emergency Services Network in 2019 under a contract won in part by Motorola. But the telecoms firm also has a stake in the ESN. The CMA cleared that merger at the time, partly because the Airwave service was scheduled to be closed at the end of 2019.
