Australia's competition watchdog on Friday called for more information on competition issues before approving pay television provider Foxtel's A$1.9 billion bid for fellow pay television company Austar United Communications Ltd. (AUN.AU).

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said in a statement it was seeking further submissions on the deal and has delayed its final decision to Sept. 8.
