3 taking rivals to court

3 is taking Vodafone, O2, Orange and T-Mobile to the High Court this week, claiming its rivals have colluded to dissuade potential new customers from transferring their numbers. 3 is currently the UK’s 5^th largest network, with around 7% of the national subscriber base. It is suing for up to £250 million, although there are suggestions it has little proof and is ‘fishing’ for information. [Source: TimesOnline.co.uk]
