Hmmmm...

I'm certain this makes lots of sense for both Vodafone and Orange but playing 'devil's advocate' it's more to do with consolodation and the removal of a lame duck with lots of 3G bandwidth before it's offloaded to some other company with 'new money' to challenge the market.

What Vodafone and Orange are doing will put huge pressure on others to replicate in order to reduce costs and there are benefits for all the big 4 if that pressure succeeds!

Brilliant strategy....
