Its getting silly now though as the lack of competition and oligopolistic trends will really hike up prices.

Its been talked about as a possibility for a while. First speculation dates back to at least 2013.

I think they would be crazy sell of India to fund this specially just after them spending so much in latest spectrum auction there and finally gaining 100% ownership of it.

This deal has more benefit on the continent then in the UK surely.

How many players do you need to avoid an oligopoly? 3 at least I would say and then good regulation. UK is heading this way in reality.
