Analysts speculated that O2 were prepared to give away 20 to 30 per cent of voice and data revenues in return for clinching an exclusive, "multi-year" contract to sell iPhones, which combine Apple's popular iPod music player, a video player and Web browser in a slick, touch-screen device.

The grey market (or gray market) usually refers to the flow of new goods through distribution channels other than those authorized or intended by the manufacturer or producer. The grey market may also refer to the 50-and-over age group (a.k.a the silver streakers) in marketing terms. Grey market goods are not generally illegal. Instead, they are being sold outside of normal distribution channels by companies which may have no relationship with the producer of the goods. Frequently this form of parallel import occurs when the price of an item is significantly higher in one country than another. This situation commonly occurs with cigarettes and electronic equipment such as cameras. Entrepreneurs buy the product where it is available cheaply, often at retail but sometimes at wholesale, import it legally to the target market and sell it at a price which provides a profit but which is below the normal market price there. This practice is also known as arbitrage.
