Thought this was an interesting read.

What happens after the 5 year freeze is potentially worrying......

Living in the real world I reckon it all boils down to greasy palms, backhanders and brown envelopes. Cynical? Me? Never....

That's how business is done, perhaps not by cash means now buy by other "Incentives"

Three did at one point to me seem to offer the most competitive rates. This did seem to slowly creep up and up and more so recently with the news of their legacy plan now costing double!

Yeah there is obviously inflation and stuff but they definitely went about it totally wrong!

I'm really not sure how I feel on the whole o2/Three merger to be totally honest.

If three were to take over they would have to align their pricing - I guess they are still confident of securing the merger.....?

[jonsie]

I'm sure they are which is why they seem to be aligning prices.

Well it's going to be interesting to see if it does go ahead then....

[MI5]

Most likely depend on factors outside of either companies control in the end.....

Surely it needs to happen, or at least Telefonica needs it to happen
