Vodafone is organised in three geographic regions – Europe, Africa and Central Europe; Asia Pacific and Middle East; and Verizon Wireless in the US. The benefits of being a subsidiary of Vodafone are central to Vodacom’s value proposition and growth strategy, and include: U Shared communications expertise and experience; U Access to world-class research and product innovation; U Procurement savings through global economies of scale; U Benchmarking operations against global standards of excellence; and Towards Total Communications Total Towards U Powerful brand association. Vodacom will be Vodafone’s exclusive investment vehicle in sub-Saharan Africa. Group overview Group Equity interests Competitive position Vodafone has three key attributes which strongly differentiate it from its competitors: its scale in technology, which allows network and IT savings through consolidation and centralisation of core activities; its strong presence in the enterprise market, among large corporates as well as small and medium sized businesses; and its brand, recently rated in the top ten leading global brands. 7 Group Annual Report 2009 Our strategy Vodacom aims to be a leading total communications provider in sub-Saharan Africa.

  • ITIF Files Comments Supporting T-Mobile-Sprint Merger
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Applications of T-Mobile US, Inc. and Sprint ) WT Docket No. 18-197 Corporation for Consent to Transfer Control of ) Licenses and Authorizations ) OPPOSITION TO PETITIONS TO DENY OF ITIF The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (“ITIF”)1 appreciates this opportunity to comment in support of the pending merger of T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) and Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”).2 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY ITIF supports this transaction with the belief that the merger advances innovative wireless broadband services, offers significant benefits that will ultimately flow to consumers, and presents few concerns in terms of competition. The merger offers significant scale and operational efficiencies that will help accelerate the transition to next generation, 5G networks, intensifying competition, and bringing numerous benefits that flow throughout the economy. An honest examination of the facts should find this merger in the public interest under sections 214(a) and 310(d) of the Communications Act.3 Petitions to deny the merger do not fully appreciate the synergies of the transaction and take too myopic a view of how competition functions in today’s media and telecommunications landscape. Some critics of the merger focus narrowly on the number of competitors, decrying this merger as a 4 to 3 reduction. This view does not appreciate companies on the cusp of wireless entry, such as cable firms, or, more importantly, the 1 The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is a non-partisan research and educational institute – a think tank – whose mission is to formulate and promote public policies to advance technological innovation and productivity internationally, in Washington, and in the states.

  • New Branches for the 2Africa Subsea Cable System
    New branches for the 2Africa subsea cable system 16 August, 2021: The 2Africa consortium, comprised of China Mobile International, Facebook, MTN GlobalConnect, Orange, stc, Telecom Egypt, Vodafone and WIOCC, announced today the addition of four new branches to the 2Africa cable. The branches will extend 2Africa’s connectivity to the Seychelles, the Comoros Islands, and Angola, and bring a new landing to south-east Nigeria. The new branches join the recently announced extension to the Canary Islands. 2Africa, which will be the largest subsea cable project in the world, will deliver faster, more reliable internet service to each country where it lands. Communities that rely on the internet for services from education to healthcare, and business will experience the economic and social benefits that come from this increased connectivity. Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) has been selected to deploy the new branches, which will increase the number of 2Africa landings to 35 in 26 countries, further improving connectivity into and around Africa. As with other 2Africa cable landings, capacity will be available to service providers at carrier- neutral data centres or open-access cable landing stations on a fair and equitable basis, encouraging and supporting the development of a healthy internet ecosystem. Marine surveys completed for most of the cable and Cable manufacturing is underway Since launching the 2Africa cable in May 2020, the 2Africa consortium has made considerable progress in planning and preparing for the deployment of the cable, which is expected to ‘go live’ late 2023. Most of the subsea route survey activity is now complete. ASN has started manufacturing the cable and building repeater units in its factories in Calais and Greenwich to deploy the first segments in 2022.

  • Infratil Limited and Vodafone New Zealand Limited
    PUBLIC VERSION NOTICE SEEKING CLEARANCE FOR A BUSINESS ACQUISITION UNDER SECTION 66 OF THE COMMERCE ACT 1986 17 May 2019 The Registrar Competition Branch Commerce Commission PO Box 2351 Wellington New Zealand [email protected] Pursuant to section 66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986, notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition. BF\59029236\1 | Page 1 PUBLIC VERSION Pursuant to section 66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986, notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition (the transaction) in which: (a) Infratil Limited (Infratil) and/or any of its interconnected bodies corporate will acquire shares in a special purpose vehicle (SPV), such shareholding not to exceed 50%; and (b) the SPV and/or any of its interconnected bodies corporate will acquire up to 100% of the shares in Vodafone New Zealand Limited (Vodafone). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION 1. This proposed transaction will result in Infratil having an up to 50% interest in Vodafone, in addition to its existing 51% interest in Trustpower Limited (Trustpower). 2. Vodafone provides telecommunications services in New Zealand. 3. Trustpower has historically been primarily a retailer of electricity and gas. In recent years, Trustpower has repositioned itself as a multi-utility retailer. It now also sells fixed broadband and voice services in bundles with its electricity and gas products, with approximately 96,000 broadband connections. Trustpower also recently entered into an arrangement with Spark to offer wireless broadband and mobile services. If Vodafone and Trustpower merged, there would therefore be some limited aggregation in fixed line broadband and voice markets and potentially (in the future) the mobile phone services market.
