AFP, London :
EE confirmed Wednesday that it has held “exploratory” discussions over a possible sale of its mobile business to BT Group, which would result in Britain’s former national operator regaining a mobile network.
Earlier this week, BT announced it had been approached by shareholders from two operators-Spanish peer Telefonica and one other unnamed group-with a view to buying their UK mobile businesses.
The other company was however understood to have been EE, which is a joint venture between Deutsche Telekom of Germany and Orange of France.
