I read that article @adamtemp64 I tend to think it was a 'sweetener' to gain Ofcom approval. They seem to be stalling on a decision. I know they don't like the idea.....stating we need 4 networks to make sure all is kept competitively fair for customers...

I think it's more a case of Ofcom trying to influence EU regulators ahead of their own ruling, as ultimately this will be another decision made in Brussels.

I'm not suggesting it's a done deal, but I can't see much prospect of a U-turn at this late stage.

Hope it is a done deal, something is very wrong and bad about O2 at the moment....

And as I stated, it was my opinion only based on the fact that Ofcom are not keen on the merger...for whatever reason. BT and EE went through with no issues...(and yes I know 'that was different')

Palms aren't sufficiently greased, yet.....
