I don't see a Vodafone/Liberty tie-up as a done deal by any stretch.

For a start a nice big, fat data network with a whole bunch of assets custom built for backhauling the EE network.
Next while the VM access network only covers ~45% of the population it's close to a lot more of the population so potentially for 'relatively' inexpensive expansion is good.
Vodafone bought Kabel Deutschland, who pass about 15.3 million premises in a country of over 40 million premises. Any complaint about VM's population coverage applies to a greater extent to that deal.
