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.

Reason I mentioned Sky is they were looking to buy Hutchinson back in 2014 before focusing on buying Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland instead.
As for Talk Talk I’m surprised they are still operating in this aggressive market, maybe a merger could be a good thing for them.
