Becker was previously managing director of Carphone Warehouse’s phone and broadband business, Talk Talk. It recently acquired Tiscali UK.
There has been on going speculation that Vodafone is in the running to bid for Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile UK operations
But it has most recently emerged that some Vodafone shareholders are against such an acquisition. Yesterday (July 28), at the company’s annual general meeting chairman Sir John Bond said “there is no sale process” for T-Mobile.
Vodafone this year launched a new ad campaign created by Bartle Bogle Hegarty. One execution shows a mechanic miming to the song “If I Ruled the World”.
