Everything Everywhere has appointed Morgan Stanley to sell off around a quarter of its 1800Mhz spectrum, as stipulated as a condition of the merger of T-Mobile and Orange in the UK to form the biggest mobile operator by customer base.
Morgan Stanley will market the spectrum to any groups with an interest in offering a 4G network in the UK to rival the proposed service of Everything Everywhere. This is intended to generate fresh competition in the new market.
The major mobile operators are expected to be interested in the spectrum, which could cost around £400m, although other technology firms may also lodge bids.
