Vodafone Hutchison Australia on Thursday announced that its operations will turn out to be a piece of a new telecoms goliath in an $11 billion merger.

Merging TPG Telecom and Vodafone Hutchison Australia will make a fixed-line, mobile and broadband provider with the scale to equal Telstra and Optus.

The current chief executive officer and chairman of TPG, David Teoh, will be the new chairman of the newly merged group. While, Inaki Berroeta, the chief executive of Vodafone Hutchison Australia will be the chief executive and managing director of the group.

TPG is among one of the largest internet service providers in Australia.

Vodafone Hutchison Australia has a mobile customer base of almost 6 million subscribers and is among Australia’s top three mobile operators.
