The agreement is subject to the planned merger of Vodafone and Three. If that deal goes through then Virgin Media O2 will buy spectrum “establishing three scaled mobile network operators each with better alignment of spectrum holding”, the companies said in a statement on Wednesday.

Britain's competition regulator is investigating the potential merger of Vodafone and Three over concerns it could lead to higher prices for customers, poorer network quality, and fewer incentives to invest.
