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
and VM installed a brand new purpose built network off the back of the project.

If BT wanted to take it back, which they probably could in time, I'm pretty sure they would have to invest in such a network to handle it.

Anyway, again, this is not a done deal...yet

If rumours are to be believed they have already bid.
Not so much rumours, but "rumour".

Lke I say, it wouldn't suprise me, but I don't see what the attraction is for Liberty, unless Vodafone are going to pay loads a dosh for it.
