I don't quite understand that they would still own the Orange brand in parts of the world. Other networks changed much earlier; maybe in India it was co-owned for a while?

Different in Europe anyway. After all, it was Mannesmann's purchase of Orange that prompted Vodafone's takeover, as they didn't seem to want the Orange brand to become stronger by appearing in Germany.
