In October 1999, Mannesmann of Germany purchased Orange plc, in a failed attempt to challenge Vodafone as the world’s leading mobile phone company. This set off a chain of events that resulted in France Télécom taking ownership of Orange, and in 2001 Snook stepped down as a special advisor to Orange.

Hans Snook’s public involvement since then in the UK telecoms industry was as chairman of Carphone Warehouse between 2002 and 2005. On stepping down from this post he was appointed non-executive chairman of Monstermob Group plc, the ringtone company.
