12 Vodafone Group Plc Annual Report 2007
Business Overview
continued
Partner Markets
Partner Markets are operations in which the Group has entered into a
partnership agreement with a local mobile operator, enabling a range of
Vodafone’s global products and services to be marketed in that operator’s
territory. Under the terms of these Partner Market agreements, the Group
and its partners co-operate in the development and marketing of certain
services, often under dual brand logos. The Group’s Partner Market strategy
enables the Group to implement its global services in new territories, extend
its brand reach into new markets and create additional revenue without the
need for equity investment.
Similar arrangements also exist with a number of the Group’s joint ventures,
associated undertakings and investments.
The results of Partner Markets are included within Common Functions.

the Group’s joint ventures, associated undertakings and investments, are as
