Orange is NOT going to merge with T-Mobile as France Telecom has denied this and has insufficient funds to do so.

The bidders will be Vodafone and 3.

Vodafone may find it difficult because the competition commision might get involved and T-Mobile and Vodafone run on two very different frequencies whilst 3 and T-Mobile run on similar frequencies and also share 3G sites. Hutchison Whampoa has a lot more funds than France Telecom.

T-Mobile have quietly being offering the Iphone to high spending customers who are threatning to leave as a retentional deal.
