In the UK, T-Mobile and Orange To Merge

EthanV2 sends in BBC coverage of the merger plans of Orange and T-Mobile in the UK. "T-Mobile and Orange plan to merge their UK businesses, creating a mobile phone giant with 28.4 million customers. If completed, a deal between Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and Orange owner France Telecom would see a firm with sales of €9.4 B (£7.0 B, $13.4 B). It would be the UK's largest provider, overtaking Telefonica's O2, with about 37% of the mobile market. ... However, it is likely that competition authorities in the UK and EU will probe the deal."

    Forget the title - What on earth happened to the dollar? It used to have a 1-to-1 parity with the Euro and now it's losing value.

    I have 3 cellphones now, but not very efficiently used yet. Besides the internet, it seems we contact with each other all by cellphone, it's hard to imagine what we could do if cellphone disappeared. garment accessories, laces, lace fabrics, buttons, zippers, ribbons & tapes, cords & ropes, beads, sequins, headties, embroidery threads, metallic yarns, fashion accessories; knitting machine spare parts, yarn feeders, lycra feeders, stop motions, belt adjusters, pulleys and needles, http://www.dk-textile.com/
