Executive Summary • Vodafone is well positioned to become the World’s true leader in Mobile services • Focused, global, execution • Leveraging global presence to drive mobile industry to deliver increased value • The real power of a global player is not in leveraging seamless global services • T-Mobile has the technological global competitive edge to be in the forefront of the industry • Does not appear to be committed to this
Vodafone’s Choice for Verizon in the US appears to be driven by quality opposed to strategy • Verizon is based on the CDMA platform • Not one of Verizon Wireless services carry the Vodafone brand • “Put option” on $10 billion 45% stake can be exercised by Vodafone • AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile USA are GSM
