Mon, 06/29/2009 - 20:03 by Inderjit Singh

London -- British telecommunications giant Vodafone is considering either a partnership or an acquisition of rival T-Mobile UK, a source close to the discussions said.

Although in a crowded market with five major players, Vodafone is the largest British phone operator with 25 percent of the market share. Although smaller, T-Mobile UK's 15 percent market share would give Vodafone a substantial jump ahead of the rest of the pack, The Times of London reported Monday.

T-Mobile's owner Deutsche Telekom is understood to be looking for an exit from the British market, The Times said.

T-Mobile UK is said to be worth between $4 billion and $5.6 billion.

Vodafone to cut 500 jobs in Britain

Tue, 02/24/2009 - 23:49 by Shruti Sharma

London -- Vodafone Tuesday said it would cut 500 jobs in Britain as a part of an ongoing plan to save about $1.5 billion in operating costs.

Vodafone, the world's largest mobile phone producer, currently has 10,000 employees in Britain, The Daily Telegraph said. A month ago, Chief Executive Officer Vittorio Colao said the company's cost-cutting strategy would include "some impact on headcount."

Telecommunications analysts have said the cellphone business would hold its own during the recession, but recent figures point to fewer calls being made and customers delaying upgrades to newer phones, the newspaper said.

Vodafone's European revenues fell 2.8 percent in the most recent quarter, the company said.

Steve Thomas of the union Connect said the labor group would work with Vodafone "to ensure that our members are treated with respect during this difficult time and that a full and proper process of consultation is carried out."
