Vodafone is in talks with CK Hutchison about merging their businesses in Britain to create a market leading mobile network that could accelerate the roll-out of 5G services and expand broadband availability.

about merging their businesses in Britain to create a market leading mobile network that could accelerate the roll-out of 5G services and expand broadband availability.

Vodafone Chief Executive Nick Read said in February the company was pursuing mergers in multiple European markets to improve returns where players barely cover the costs of the capital required to invest in networks. Vodafone noted in its statement that regulator Ofcom had described Vodafone UK and Three UK as sub-scale operators, which lacked the size to earn their cost of capital and therefore could fall further behind the two market leaders.

Vodafone said on Monday the merger could bring benefits through "competitively priced access" to larger 5G network, for example for mobile virtual network operators.
