3 UK For Sale? Nice little 3G mobile company, only 1 careful owner...

Those rumours that 3 is for sale just won't go away......John Hauxwell pinged me this afternoon with his post here. I had in the meantime picked up this one from the Inquirer picking up a Mail on Sunday story. (The Mail on Sunday also reported last last month that 130 managers were to be sacked at 3 UK, though 3 UK claimed that headcount will go up in 2007)

To be honest, I haven't heard anything about this, this time around, and was a bit wary of saying anything after the last time when the rumours of sale were immediately followed by that of a 3G price reduction to near 3G datacard levels - I thought I had got a bum steer.

Also, to try to crash the market just before you punt the company seems...errrm....odd?

Mind you, this is Planet Mobile where economic rationality is not always the first thing on the agenda (I will do a Big Blog on the Myriad Myths of Mobile Multimedia Moneymaking soon)

Still, you can't keep a good meme down......
