A Case Study of Vodafone with a Piece of Orange and the DTs

Abstract: Abstract A glance at Table 4.2 in the main text is sufficient to disclose that while there are a number of major players in the 3G market, two are apparently much more active than the others. As of January 2002, what is now the Vodafone Group had sixteen entries in the table, while what is now Orange had thirteen. However, the imbalance is in practice rather greater than it appears since, first, Vodafone is a major player in Japan where Orange is absent, and, second, Vodafone is a partner in Verizon Wireless in the USA where again Orange has no interest in a mobile operator. Equally, Table 1.3 indicates that, aside from Vodafone, the operator with the clearest global aspirations is Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Mobile which operates in the USA (via wholly-owned VoiceStream Communications) but not in Japan.
