Vodafone & O2 finally cooperate over 4g network

As predicted on this blog 3 years ago, today Vodafone and Telefónica UK (O2’s owner) announced their plans to jointly roll out a shared 4G network.  Vodafone will run the masts on the west of the country and O2 those on the east.  It should mean a 40% increase in sites for each operator, and directly benefit the users.

The cost of creating this new platform has forced two huge companies to change the way they operate and reframe their view of the market.
