It was only a matter of time IN or OUT with them our special status was subject to how nice they wanted to play in the current climate once things got moving along in the EU we would have had to have moved with them our special status was not unlimited.
There are plenty of mobile phone providers that is what I am saying. Vodafone might make money a lot of money but customers will just move to another provider should they go plenty of room to shop around and someone waiting to take them.
I'm sure VM wouldn't hold back if sky left the UK in taking their customers would they.
Every knows this was going to be a rocky ride after leaving we have pretty much peeved off 27 member states. once we have ridden through the waves and the dust settles we'll know what better position the UK is. it is way to early to tell anything it hasn't even been a week since the referendum and the IN crowd want blood.

We may or may not have been able to carry on with our special position within the EU, if we had to become part of an EU army or part of a super state (neither certain) and that point we could have come out.
It's the fallacy and misrepresentation of the EU from the cost, democratic process through to immigration and the blase attitude to the potential impact on the economy that i find most worrying at the attitude held by some that leaving the EU will a panacea for all of the counties problems.
As as for Vodafone leaving, the UK part of their operation will stay, their headquarters moving will take all of that income, tax returns etc. and this cannot be replaced by other providers.
The best possible outcome is a zero net gain in this instance and we have taken a huge gamble without anyone showing any hard defined economic
upsides to leaving the EU.
