Proposed merge
I would oppose a proposed merge between Cable & Wireless (Caribbean) and bmobile. Although bmobile is a subsidiary of Cable & Wireless, I think there is sufficient data relating to each organisation to justify separate articles, and for the same reason that I think it would be unwise to over-merge and put Cable & Wireless (Caribbean) into Cable & Wireless (International). The teo companies have very different stories. Cable & Wireless came out in the 1950s from the UK and dug miles of cables all over the Caribbean in exchange for statutory monopolies. Bmobile has been constantly fighting with its competitors in the 1990s and 2000s with rivals in a highly competitive market. I would rather have two separate clean articles than one giant sloppy one. --Legis (talk - contribs) 12:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I would disagree to this merger of the C&W (Carribbean) and bmobile articles for a number of reasons. Firstly looking at ownership, there are a number of bmobile operations that C&W do not outright own, including bmobile (T&T) which is part of TSTT (although i am aware that C&W is a major shareholder in TSTT).
 * Secondly looking overhere to Europe, there are a number of incumbent operators whos mobile (cellular) divisions have seperate articles from their fixed-line parent. These include eircom who own the Meteor mobile network in Ireland, France Télécom, who own the Orange mobile networks company, Deutsche Telekom of Germany who own the international T-Mobile network, and Telefónica of Spain who own both the Movistar Mobile networks and the O2 networks.
