    Let \(k\) be a number field and \(S\) be a set of primes of \(k\) such that \(S\) has density 1 and contains the set of primes above a given prime number \(p\) as well as all infinite primes of \(k\); let further \(T_0\) be a finite subset of \(S\) and \(k^{T_0}_S(p)\) the maximal pro-\(p\) extension of \(k\) which is unramified outside \(S\) and completely decomposed at \(T_0\). There is a canonical map \[ \mathop\ast_{{\mathfrak p}\in T_0(k^{T_0}_S(p))}G_{\mathfrak p}(k(p)/k)\ast \mathop\ast_{{\mathfrak p}\not\in S(k^{T_0}_S(p))}T_{\mathfrak p}(k(p)/k)\to G(k(P)/k^{T_0}_S(p)) \] which is shown to be an isomorphism (here \(\ast\) indicates taking free pro-\(p\) products, and \(G_{\mathfrak p}\), \(T_{\mathfrak p}\) are the decomposition and inertia groups, respectively, with respect to an extension of \(\mathfrak p\) to \(k(p)\)). The proof depends on the Grunwald-Wang theorem. Work related to this is [\textit{J. Neukirch}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 259, 1--47 (1973; Zbl 0263.12006); \textit{M. D. Fried, D. Haran}, and \textit{H.
