VODAFONE has hatched a new plan to tackle its chronic network problems, striking a deal with rival Optus to jointly build hundreds of new mobile phone stations.
The deal is certain to attract the scrutiny of the competition watchdog as the nation’s second-biggest telco, Optus, teams up with the third-largest, Vodafone, to challenge the dominant player Telstra.
Under Vodafone’s expanded network joint venture launched this morning, the telco will access around 400 Optus base station sites, with the two telcos set to build 500 more shared sites over the next four years.
Vodafone’s recently installed chief executive Bill Morrow, who came on board in March to restore the company’s battered reputation, said the deal showed the telco was listening to customers.
