VM has carried core data for these providers for years, this deal is about extra capacity for data coverage which will allow more capacity per tower. Great news all round, especially for VM!

When 4G comes out, I'd expect it to only be available on limited tariffs. While I am not defending the move, the government is undoubtedly looking at making billions from the sale of the licences, and the mobile companies are going to want to make that money back and more.

Yes, we have.
Especially for Orange (WTN & One Core) and T-mobile, we have carried some three traffic but not provided a national backhaul like we have for the other two.
And were building a whole new network for this.
It's a very competitive Market, and the fact we won this speaks volumes foe the confidence these companies have in virgins ability to deliver their networks
