Vodafone and Three complete merger
Briefly

The merger between Three and Vodafone, now known as VodafoneThree, was finalized on May 31 after regulatory approval from the CMA. This strategic union aims to create a formidable competitor to BT/EE and Virgin Media O2 by uniting their resources and customer bases, totaling 29 million. VodafoneThree commits to an £11 billion investment over the next ten years to enhance the UK's 5G network. This investment is expected to substantially improve mobile connectivity and experience across the country, despite current challenges with 5G quality in cities like London.
The union of the two mobile operators, imaginatively named VodafoneThree, was given the go-ahead by UK regulator the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) at the end of last year, despite fears of possible price rises, and completed on May 31.
The new third force in telecoms promises to invest £11 billion over the next decade - a condition of the merger going ahead - in order to create what it claims will be one of Europe's most advanced 5G networks.
