The beginning of the year saw another flurry of takeovers in the mobile telecoms world as the first one; then another of the major UK networks has changed hands. Hutchison Whampoa, the owners of Three, bought O2 in January and then in February, BT bought the UK’s largest mobile provider EE. So how are these changes likely to affect the business mobile market?

Are these changes good or bad for business customers?

At first glance, these changes might appear to be bad news for business customers, as the major networks focus on combining TV, Broadband and Mobile channels for the domestic market. Industry pundits, however, believe that the changes could spell good news for enterprise customers, as independent resellers vie with each other to capture the lion’s share of the lucrative business mobile market.

The benefits of unified business communications packages

Today smartphones have become an essential business tool. Moreover, as this trend continues, more and more companies are discovering the advantages of dealing with an independent telecoms reseller rather than the mobile networks direct. The main reason for this shift is because independent dealers, like Meridian IP Communications,  can offer the holy grail of cost saving coupled with personalised packages tailored to suit each business’s specific telecoms requirements.

In particular, business owners are discovering the efficiency gains available from our ability to integrate mobile communications with landline and scaleable VoIP systems to create a unified communications (UC) package.
