By Editor on November 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The proposed merger between Orange and T-Mobile gets all the nods from competition authorities and government bodies in UK and Europe. This signals the creation of UKs largest mobile operator with 30 million users and a market share of around 37 percent.

Timotheus H¶ttges, the CFO of Deutsche Telekom said- “The negotiations were conducted in a fair way and I am certain that this spirit of professionalism and partnership will shape the future of our joint venture. It will set new standards as number one in UK mobile market.”

Of late, T-mobile has faired well but Orange has been fairing below expectations with its fixed broadband customer base dwindling to below the 1 million mark.

Most analysts believe that the merger will allow the companies to better leverage their synergies and develop competitive synergies in high growth sectors such as mobile broadband and roll out innovative services.

STOCKWATCH Hong Kong’s Hutchison down on concerns over UK mobile arm’s revenue

By Editor on September 17, 2006 · Leave a Comment

HONG KONG (XFN-ASIA) – Hutchison whampoa Ltd was lower on concerns that revenue of its UK mobile arm may be adversely affected by a UK government proposal to cut the amount that mobile operators can charge for connecting calls to their networks, dealers said.

Hutchison Whampoa was down 0.35 hkd or 0.50 pct at 69.55.

Britain’s communications industry regulator Ofcom announced that the so-called termination rates for the country’s mobile operators should be cut. Under the proposals, Hutchison’s 3UK unit will have to cut its termination charge to around 6.0 pence per minute from next year.

3 has so far been exempt from any regulatory restrictions on termination rates, and is currently charging almost twice as high as the 6 pence per minute that Ofcom is proposing, according to Goldman Sachs.

The cut is rates could mean a sharp fall in 3 group’s revenue in UK.
