The world’s largest mobile phone company has declared that it is interested in taking over the German cell phone company, T-Mobile.
T-Mobile has been losing market share recently, and even though it won the contract to supply the handsets for Google’s first Android based mobile, the G1, this has not been enough to give T-Mobile the competitive edge that it needs to regain some lost ground in Europe.
If Vodafone is successful it will control 40% of the UK’s mobile phone market.
This will certainly be a massive shake-up in the mobile phones market. It could also be excellent news for 3G users (i.e. T-mobile’s G1 users) with improved 3G coverage meaning less downtime for G1 users.
