Because the take over reduces consumer choice the matter has been referred to OFT for consideration,and possible referral to Competion Commission for investigation.

Parties: Completed acquisition by the Carphone Warehouse Group of Onetel - issued 22/03/2006
Affected sector: Telecommunications
Case officer: Raul Nieto 020 7211 5866 Email Raul.Nieto@oft.gsi.gov.uk

The deadline though is only a tomorrow for OneTel, and a few days away for Tele2.
I suggest anyone not happy with TT buying the competition to email the case officer asap.0
