Nothing should be ruled out but 3 seems to be more of an acquirer than a seller. In 2013, 3 announced its intentions to acquire O2 Ireland and it was successful in doing so. But in 2015, 3 tried to acquire O2 UK but was blocked by the EU on competition grounds.
Whilst a merger with TalkTalk might make sense - both have a value focus - 3 does not have a fixed line presence in the other countries it operates in.
