It's not been sold off or privatised (it was privatised a long time ago and failed ) its just been floated on the stock market, that means people can buy shares in it to increase its value and make it more money, which means if it becomes profitable enough people can buy enough shares to buy a large percentage of it but not a controlling share.
This might lead to it being privatised in the future but not immediately.
It will probably be sold mainly to the Germans who now own most of Europe but the Queens head will stay on the stamps because she is German anyway so no problems.
high prices,Loss of jobs, low wages, crap corrupt services
It is privatization.
double digit rate increses . it will cost a lot more .
the prices will go sky high - no-one will use it and it will fail
It will cost more and be less efficient.
