Aldi has set the precedent for a new wave of MVNOs, the question is whether T-Mobile and Vodafone see it as a feasible option in addition to their mainstream networks.  I'm inclined to believe that if and when Lidl enters the market (wouldn't put it past them, it's more a question of when) that they could very well go with T-Mobile.  I can't imagine Aldi wanting Lidl to use E-Plus as well.  T-Mobile stands to fall behind if Vodafone continues to see the amount of subscriber growth they saw in the last year. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile#Kund..._in_Deutschland (29.52 million as of 12/31/2005) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone (29.17 million as 12/31/2005) They will do something to stay ahead of Vodafone. The newer onslaught of debitel will also influence T-Mobile's next step. |
