 PROFILE
Orange is a popular flavor on European wireless phone menus. The company, which has expanded with the integration of parent France Telecom's mobile phone operations, has about 16 million mobile phone subscribers in France, where it is #1 in the market, and about 12 million in the UK, where it is the #2 wireless carrier after Vodafone. Orange's stakes in mobile phone operators in Europe (including Germany's MobilCom and Italy's Wind) and the Middle East account for nearly 8 million customers. Vodafone, which gained control of Orange in 2000 by buying Mannesmann, had to sell the company to satisfy regulators' concerns. The buyer, France Telecom, owns about 85% of Orange after a 2001 IPO.
