More on Telefónica O2
Description from Wikipedia:
Telefónica O2 Europe plc (known prior to March 2006 as O2 plc and prior to March 2005 as mmO2 plc) is a European telecommunications company delivering both fixed and mobile communication products, usually under the styled brand O2. The company has its origins in a combination of a European subset of a collection of worldwide mobile operator interests known in the latter half of the 1990s as BT Wireless within BT Group plc and an operator-independent global mobile data business then known as Genie Internet, which was also a subsidiary of BT Group.
The original O2 group was formed when BT Group demerged the above businesses as part of a plan to strengthen the capital position of shareholders following declining telecommunications industry valuations in the late 1990s. The companies involved in the demerger, which took place on 17 November 2001, were BT Cellnet, which became O2 UK; Esat Digifone, which became O2 Ireland; Viag Interkom, which became O2 Germany; Telfort, which became O2 Netherlands; Manx Telecom (Isle of Man); O2 Airwave (UK); and Genie Internet, which split into O2 Online and O2 Asia. After a five year period of independence (during which it disposed of its subsidiary in Netherlands to a private equity company, which reverted it to the Telfort brand) the O2 group was acquired by Telefónica of Spain on 23 January 2006 in what was described at that time as the biggest all-cash takeover in the history of the telecommunications industry.
By 31 March 2007 the company had 35.9 million mobile customers in the UK, Germany, Ireland and Czech Republic, 1.3 million DSL customers in Germany and Czech Republic and 3.4 million fixed line telephony customers in Czech Republic.
