That RAN is backhauled by VM though, and BT won't like that. They're still bitter about the loss of those contracts to VM in the first place, but once they own the mobile network that chose VM over them... Hmm.

I doubt there is anything BT can do though, is there?? Unless there's some break clause in the contract which says that if EE comes under different ownership then all contracts can be renegotiated, but I doubt it. I wonder how BT and VM will get on....?

Not sure, but could the freeing up of Freeview spectrum to mobile services alter things?
