Stop BT from buying EE

Stop BT from buying EE and review the Monopoly and Mergers Commission.

Why is this important?

I personally feel, rightly or wrongly, that if British Telecom were allowed to buy the 'Everything Everywhere' company, it would be like Tesco's buying Morrison's or Sky buying I.T.V. We need a competitive market place to create employment and drive consumers standards to higher grounds.

The reaching long term implications of this potential sale, would have to result in job losses and if the public does not raise it's concerns about potential huge company sales such this and similar situations and attempts like it, we could be guilty of scratching our heads in 5 years time and asking ourselves "Where did all the work go?"

In the last 3 years, I have found B.T. and E.E's customers standards to be poor and if they become no longer in direct competition with each other, how will their customer services ever improve?

We are still recovering from a double-dip recession and the last thing the business market needs is an eventual streamlining of a big phone network. This must be stopped and it is in all of our interests to stop B.T. buying E.E.

I have already contacted my M.P, Andrew Turner, about this matter and hope that others are able to find the time to contact their M.P. too.

How it will be delivered

If, given time to deliver sufficient awareness of the overall matters at heart, I successfully gain a large support for general concerns about the state of our current Monopolies and Mergers Commission and a public want for more to be done to improve our employment market and defend what should be always set in stone as guidelines as to how we create competition in our market places, I will happily deliver this petition in person to 10 Downing Street.
