Most of the
market didn't see this coming but the confirmation of BT's EE MVNO service moving to the next stage a couple days ago hinted at it.

I wonder if the regulators will make them give up a portion of the 2.6Ghz spectrum, now that the combined company will own two-thirds of the total 2.6Ghz band
