Not too sure but ofcom wants the 3G networks to merge.

T-Mobile 3G is to merge with Hutchison 3G
Vodafone 3G is to merge with Orange 3G

That is to increase 3G coverage rapidly,each of the above networks with the exception of Hutchison 3G will have there own 2G networks,but a merged network would offer more coverage. Each network would have its own customer base as usual.

So that means T-Mobile,3 and Virgin Mobile customers will get 100% good quality coverage whilst Orange and Vodafone users will get around 95% coverage.
