With Three's parent company Hutchinson Whampoa putting in a bid of over £10 billion quid to buy O2, it got me thinking about how the consolidation of British telecoms and media providers might affect our choice as consumers and businesses in the coming years.I'm joined by Allison Sheridan (@podfeet) of NosillaCast to talk about how such mergers have affected the North American market.
