The scope of this collaborative arrangement is still being developed but is likely to include voice and SMS, a range of data services including 5G and shared/aggregated data, devices and accessories, international tariffs, managed/professional services, lone/remote worker services, mobile Internet of Things services, business mobility apps, device insurance and disposal etc, although this may be subject to change as the strategy develops.
