I'm inclined to agree that on paper, O2 is a more likely combination for VM than Vodafone. But I wonder if Comcast/Sky might try to gate crash the merger so that it does not have such a strong competitor. If Comcast/Sky is successful, this could lead to VM and Vodafone or VM and Three merging.

We also don't know 100% if VM Ireland is included in the VM-O2 merger as that is a market O2 has withdrawn from.
