Vodafone announced that it is going to launch UK broadband and TV services in the spring, but pricing, and what TV content will be offered, has yet to be announced. The firm will use its business fibre network and BT infrastructure to offer the service.The home broadband and TV market in the UK is already very crowded, and it may be difficult for Vodafone to compete with rivals including BT, EE, Sky and Virgin. Plus, people want to use different devices in the home, and these products will increasingly "talk" to each other. Consumers will also expect that service to work well.
