BT and Vodafone – Joined Together at Last

If Ofcom approve it, BT has entered a deal to make Vodaphone the mobile provider its sole mobile communications provider in the UK. This means that BT will cease its current partnerships with T-Mobile and MmO2, surprising many as BT and Vodafone have long been rivals. In fact, MmO2 was originally a BT operation, but was sold off to repay debts.
One revolutionary change this would bring about is that BT would be able to offer its 250,000 BT Business and 50,000 Commercial customers a single bill for fixed-line and mobile services.
