Orange will buy from Telekom the fixed services division together with 4.6 million customers, an extremely large number, which will bring the total number of customers to 15 million, an amazing figure for Romania. However, those from Orange will have a serious problem in front of them with the administration of another 4.6 million customers that they will take over with Telekom, so that at first it is improbable that they will be transferred to the current infrastructure.
Orange will most likely try to continue managing all the customers of Telekom's landline division in the infrastructure that the German-owned operator has in our country at the moment. In this idea, even if Orange will complete the purchase of Telekom's landline division in the next period, customers should not feel any change for the services they have, so theoretically everything should remain the same, for a period of time.
Sale of Telekom to Orange: WHAT WILL HAPPEN to Customers?
Orange already has offers that include the use of Telekom's fixed infrastructure, both on the Internet and on the television side, so from this point of view things will be very simple for them. Current customers will definitely be transferred to Orange's systems at some point, but this process will most likely take a long time to complete, with a duration of at least a year.
Orange has no reason to rush to integrate Telekom's systems, together with all the customers into its own, and this is because it will need some time to analyze what is happening there. It is more than certain that Telekom does not present 100% of the real situation of its landline division, because there are serious reasons why it wants to sell it, so Orange could have some surprises.
Orange and Telekom want to complete the transaction as quickly as possible, but unfortunately the Romanian state complicates the situation, and the European Commission could also be involved.
