Not as such, just that its not the time to launch a service. we were as surprised as anyone as its been in planning and testing for a couple of years now.

EE has the most coverage and bandwidth out of all of them. Vodafone often fights for 3rd place with Three.

Pierre is generally in the know, so yeah I would say it's a great post. If he says it's not happening, then it's not happening and he's probably just sick of the same rumour appearing every other month.

I don't sit on the GEC so I can never sat for certain, But I do have a lot of contacts and there is nothing points towards an LG/VF tie up apart from in the wet dreams of a few stock analysts that want sell to their feeds.

VF are currently pretty weak. It may be interesting but I think VF would be better seeking out a content partner.

Who would be a suitable partner to enter into a joint venture/become a content partner?

Been hearing rumours from BT shareholders that TalkTalk could be taking over Vodafone, hence why the TV idea has been scrapped.

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

Talk talk don' have anything near the financial muscle to take on Vodafone

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

The other way round maybe.
TalkTalk Market Cap £1.82bn
Vodafone Market Cap £52.99bn

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

Definitely.

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

Do you understand how huge Vodafone are?! Why on earth you'd think TalkTalk could take them over I don't know!

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

Do you think BT shareholders have some special insight?

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

Indeed as spoken by others and your good self in that Vodafone are a big worldwide company wherever TalkTalk are not.:)

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

I have no idea about the size of either company, however size isn't everything:

Not particularly.

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

What has that to do with anything? That was 17 years ago and look what happened to Bank of Scotland over the Years!

Vodafone are a huge international company with mobile presence in many countries as well as home broadband and TV services in some.

It if anything would be Vodafone taking over TT.

But it's neither here nor there as it's not happening.

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

It was to demonstrate that it is possible for a smaller company to take over a larger company.

Btw I believe that the link refers to Vodafone in the UK only.

Re: Could VM/LG be taking over Vodafone?
 

What are the odds of Voda just giving in and selling off their UK network?
