Romtelecom's former IT operations head has thus become one of the 25 people who run United Kingdom's biggest mobile telephony operator and who have the challenging task of unifying two of the broadest and most complex communications networks and IT infrastructures in the world.

Last year, the German group announced one of the most spectacular moves on the domestic telecom market, namely the recruitment of Richard Moat, the chief executive officer of Orange, the biggest mobile telephony operator in Romania.
