The rollout lines up with the Narrative that highlights B2B and higher margin digital services as important catalysts for Vodafone Group. It supports the push into enterprise focused tools that sit on top of connectivity, alongside partnerships with groups like Google, Accenture and Microsoft, rather than addressing the separate risks tied to weak German performance or heavy restructuring.

The key marker from here is how many additional Vodafone European markets are activated on the CAMARA based branded calling API over the next 12 to 18 months.
