Orange and t-mobile merging

2 of the largest mobile phone companies in the Uk are merging. Originally it was reported that Orange was going to take over t- mobile, so it's suprising they're announcing a merger, though that could be more of a political statement.

 Is this merger due to the massive success o2 has had with the iPhone and other exclusive handsets, and vodafone had in the business world?
