I'm wondering if O2's stake in Tesco Mobile might be sold to Vodafone in the event of the VM-O2 merger happening. This could have two benefits:
a) Placates the competition authorities whilst allowing O2-VM to retain the O2, Virgin Mobile and Giff-Gaff businesses.
b) Compensates Vodafone if the MVNO with Virgin Mobile no longer takes place.
