MBNL was created after T-Mobile and Three UK agreed to pool their respective 3G infrastructures in a 50/50 joint venture, with the duo claiming the move would allow them to construct the UK’s best third-generation network more efficiently and far faster than either could independently. At present MBNL’s HSPA-based infrastructure covers more than 90% of the British population, and by the end of 2010 this figure is expected to rise to more than 98%, with the JV having already consolidated more than 7,000 of the 12,500 cell sites that the initial two partners had said will be merged by October 2010. |

Everything Everywhere is the United Kingdom's largest mobile network operator, formed from Orange U.K. and T-mobile uk.[1][2] The company is a joint venture between France Télécom and Deutsche Telekom, owners of Orange and T-Mobile respectively[3][4]
History
Everything Everywhere began operations on 11 May 2010. It is planned that eventually the networks of Orange and T-Mobile will be integrated, with both brands continuing to provide distinct products and services.[5]
On 22 June 2010 Everything Everywhere announced plans to roll out HD voice calling throughout its network by the end of summer. The technology will first be trialled on Orange's network in Bristol, Reading and Southampton, before being expanded to the rest of the UK by the end of summer.[6][7]
Then in a press release on 25 August 2010, Vringo (a provider of video ringtones and personalization solutions) announced plans for a partnership with 'Everything Everywhere' which would bring Vringo's video ringtones service to 30 million customers across both T-Mobile and Orange. Initially content will only be available to Orange UK customers through the network's web, WAP and mobile application brands.[8]
Combining The T-Mobile and Orange Networks
September 3 2010 Everything Everywhere, the UK’s biggest communications company, announced the first consumer benefit of the merger between Orange and T-Mobile, opening up its two mobile networks to customers of both brands. Available to almost half of the UK population, the move marks the start of the single, biggest improvement of network coverage since the birth of mobile.[9] From October 5, 30 million customers – the combined customer base of Orange & T-Mobile in the UK – Customers who sign up for access to both networks will benefit free of charge, with no changes to their existing tariffs or call or text charges. Once registered, should a customer lose signal on their existing network, they will then automatically pick up the signal from the other network where it’s available, meaning that they can make and receive calls and texts in more places than ever before.
