Well I am an employee of one of those companies, and I wouldn’t be concerned. But I am not in the mobile division.

My other point was you have BT/EE, Vodafone, Three and O2

They are the 4no. MNO’s in the UK. When Three want to buy O2, that was blocked because that would have reduced the number of MNO’s to three.

Virgin, along with Tesco and a load of other MVNO’s are just essentially wholesale customers of whatever MNO they are contracted to.

So if Virgin move their business to O2 instead of Vodafone from EE, so what?
