the article states:
17 December 2001: Introduces the
concept of "Partner Networks" by signing TDC Mobil of Denmark. The
new concept involves the introduction of Vodafone international
services to the local market, without the need of investment by
Vodafone. The concept would be used to extend the Vodafone brand
and services into markets where it does not have stakes in local
operators. Vodafone services would be marketed under the dual-brand
scheme, where the Vodafone brand is added at the end of the local
brand. (i.e., TDC Mobil-Vodafone etc.)
