Europe’s telecoms market is shifting again with the unwinding of the joint ventures (JVs) owning MasOrange, VodafoneThree and VodafoneZiggo.

In this podcast, Charles Murray and Tom Rebbeck discuss what these moves tell us about the next phase of European mobile consolidation. They explore how JV unwinds sit alongside 4-to-3 mergers, what they mean for market structure and whether they can support the EU’s ambition to build stronger European champions.

The discussion builds on the themes raised in this article.
