Vodafone spreekt interesse in Spaanse Yoigo uit
Vodafone zal de mogelijkheden tot een overname van de Spaanse mobiele operator Yoigo bekijken als deze in de etalage wordt gezet door eigenaar TeliaSonera. Dat zegt Vodafone-CEO Vittorio Colao tegen het Spaanse dagblad El Economista. Van voorbereidingen op een formeel bod is echter nog geen sprake. Naar verluidt zou TeliaSonera de komende weken bekend maken open te staan voor biedingen. Zodoende zou het Zweedse telecombedrijf 1 miljard euro willen ophalen. De koop zou in het eerste kwartaal van 2013 kunnen worden afgerond. Een andere naam die wordt genoemd als koper is France Télécom.
