Vodafone is threatening legal action against Ofcom imposing a spectrum cap on mobile operators. This should slow down future auctions and is a well use tactic unfortunately.

“The changes may prevent big money players from outspending others to get the lion’s share of bandwith, leaving smaller players less able to compete.
Three’s Chief Executive Dave Dyson has campaigned for these rule changes to include a 30% spectrum cap, meaning any player with more than this amount would be forced to sell back exceeding bandwidth. This would negatively affect EE who have over 40% and possibly Vodafone, who are already close to this limit even before the auction.
Vodafone UK head Jeroen Hoencamp said ‘Of course we will oppose it, and we are looking at it now.’”
