Hmm, I like some of the products offered to O2 customers, and I love the amazing prices Three offer. If Three stick to their prices and plans, and add the benefits of O2 I'd be happy for this to happen.

If the North American market is an indication of anything it's that less competition is always good for consumers, they reap the benefit of the economy of scale gained by the service providers.

It's not the size of the acquirer, it's the effect on competition. Since BT didn't compete in the mobile market, it's not surprising the watchdog had less concern.
