Mobile Data and Internet

In  its  formal  offer  document of 23  December  1999,  Vodafone
AirTouch  informed Mannesmann shareholders that  it  was  in  the
process  of  finalising  the design of a single  global  internet
platform.   This  platform  is  a  central  element  of  Vodafone
AirTouch's strategy for mobile data and internet.  This  strategy
builds  on  the extensive experience already in place within  the
Group  and  has  been under development for some time.   Vodafone
AirTouch is now ready to announce its plans for the structure and
operation  of  the global platform together with details  of  the
other  elements  of  its  global strategy  for  mobile  data  and
internet.

Vodafone  AirTouch  will  present its mobile  data  and  internet
strategy  on  Tuesday  11 January 2000 at The  Brewery,  Chiswell
Street, London, EC1 at the following times:
