There is an incompleteness to this report though. Vodafone and 3 have already made deals in other places, such as India. And describing something as Hutchison's strategy to exit from the UK somehow seems to leave out mentioning that they departed once, when they sold Orange here, then couldn't resist coming back.

They are right about Vodafone's competitive streak being aroused by rival acquisition deals though - think back to when Mannesmann bought Orange, then Vodafone really didn't like the idea of an Orange brand springing up in Germany and bought the lot.
