It is part of the evolution from a UK-based business to a multi-national one.

I'm surprised ... it's happening so early (in the Japanese turnaround). It runs the risk that it won't get a decent value for it, but it may well be that Softbank have come to Vodafone, in which case maybe they can talk sensibly on price.
