Vodafone Tops-up the English Language

There's nothing wrong with new language trends - and I've noticed how some companies (especially those in new media and technology) are now removing spaces from their names and capitalising mid-name instead, as in SalesForce, WordPress and many others.

But much like with text speak (txt spk), I think we aren't quite ready for this trend to spill into the rest of the language. It would appear that formerly-hyphenated words are the first victims, as is evident in this campaign by Vodafone:

EXHIBIT A:
Vodafone campaign in Liverpool Street Station, London

EXHIBIT B:
Vodfafone - TopUp banner

EXHIBIT C:
Notice how they use both versions in one ad?
