This could definately happen.

KKR who own Boots is in the process of selling boots for around £14billion in total in a deal that may take 5 years to complete. KKR are also looking to take over EverythingEverywhere.

Unfortunately breaking up part of boots an 1000's of job loses all happened under KKR. They a private equity investment group, they won't want to own EE or VM for much more than 3-5 years. Also if this goes a head don't be surprised to see VM open up their network to others. All they will want to do is strip down/cut cost/ sell for profit.

You may even end with something like perhaps, "VM Networks" or "UK Cable" managing the network and reselling it to other companys. An "VM digital" or something similar selling the normal things VM do now one of them will be lumbered with all the debt,
