I've said here and on other forums for a long time, that the UK will end up with 3 or 4 "vertically integrated" media companies. They will own their own delivery platform, a terrestrial broadcast channel, broadband and mobile.
If this vodafone deal happens, I expect sky and bt will either buy a mobile operator themselves or be bought by a mobile operator. Then the battle to buy ITV will restart and the loser will be left with Channel 5 and Channel 4, if it ever goes private.
