Who owns UK mobile networks?
The UK's four main mobile networks are EE (owned by BT Group, a British company), Vodafone (a British company), O2 (owned by Virgin Media O2, a joint venture between Liberty Global and Telefónica), and Three (owned by CK Hutchison, a Hong Kong-based conglomerate). This mix of ownership means various international and domestic companies influence UK mobile services.
