> The Telegraph only seems to provide any sources that are about the UK. I can't find any sources outside of the Telegraph for Telefonica, for example, mostly because Google only lists articles copy/pasting the Telegraph. I read it as referring to those telcos' international HQ's. The Telegraph article reports that the letter to the European Commission was signed by Vodafone, Telefónica, Orange and T-Mobile. First, Telefónica isn't active in the UK under that name, only as part of Virgin Media O2 (their joint venture with Liberty Global) [1]. T-Mobile (Deutsche Telekom) and Orange (France Télécom) haven't even been active in the UK at all since 2016 (when BT acquired their joint venture EE) [2]. Therefore, if the Telegraph were reporting on the UK only, the list of telcos that signed the letter doesn't make sense in the first place. Second, if the letter were indeed authored by UK telcos, why would they have sent it to the European Commission? That's an EU institution, and the UK isn't part of the EU anymore.
