Belgacom, Swisscom refuse to comment on talks

Belgacom and Swisscom have declined to confirm whether their reported ongoing talks covered a tie-up of international wholesale operations, reports Dow Jones Newswires. Belgacom would not say which companies it was in contact with, saying only that it was in discussion with several possible partners, including due diligence with one of them. Swisscom would not comment on specifics either. A company spokesman said that there was a lot of overcapacity in the international wholesale sector.
