NTT withdrew NTT Docomo in 1992 as the government decided to encourage competition in the telecommunications market. This can eliminate the parent-child list which is very common in Japan if it is bought back.
According to refinitiv data, NTT offered a tender for $ 40 billion, one of the biggest deals this year.
DoCoMo does not need to be accountable to shareholders after the acquisition. If the government decides to cut prices, they will be obliged. Jeffrey’s analyst Atul Goyal said this.
With a 34% stake, NTT still recognizes the government as its largest shareholder.
The government is making efforts to increase competition. That is why they are supporting Rakuten’s entry into the region.
The buyout is led by the ability to develop IoT and 5G services compared to regulatory pressures. Analyst Kirk Boodry said this. He also said that the industry is looking for less regulated revenue streams.
