Eurobites: VodafoneThree brings 400 call center jobs back to UK
Vodafone and Three’s planned UK joint venture, VodafoneThree, says it will bring 400 customer service jobs back to the UK as part of its post-merger setup. The move shifts work from overseas call centers and folds it into domestic operations, framing the decision as an investment in local support and service quality. The JV is still subject to regulatory approval.
Elsewhere in the region, the UK government has opened a consultation on planning reform proposals that could affect digital infrastructure rollout. In Japan, Ericsson has deployed massive MIMO technology for NTT Docomo to boost network capacity and performance. Telefónica, meanwhile, is promoting its Internet of Things capabilities, highlighting growth and scale in its IoT business across its markets.
