Thursday, April 25, 9:47 AM Telefonica (TEF -0.3%) is thinking of selling its German wireline ops, Bloomberg reports. One source adds Telefonica, which has been eying asset sales to pare its debt load, is open to sharing its mobile network with a rival or merging the business with KPN's (KKPNY.PK) E-Plus unit. Vodafone (VOD), which seems intent on growing its German wireline presence, is a logical buyer for the wireline business, which claims 2.4M broadband subs and has an estimated value of €2B ($2.6B). Liberty Global (LBTYA), reportedly eying Kabel Deutschland, is another possibility. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
Monday, December 17, 2012, 6:37 AM Vodafone (VOD) shares sink 2.9% in London after the company agreed to pay €1.4B for Dutch 4G spectrum in an auction that raised €3.8B in total from KPN, T-Mobile and Tele2, as well as from Vodafone. Investors are concerned about the amount operators are going to have to shell out in auctions across Europe, although cash-strapped governments are probably delighted. 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 3:44 PM Carlos Slim's American Movil (AMX +1.4%) does an end-around management at KPN (KKPNY.PK) to take effective control of the company, acquiring 27.7% in a tender offer. U.S. investor Capital Research and Management appears to be the strength behind the move, reducing its exposure in KPN to 6.79% from 15.11%. The stake puts AMX just below the 30% threshold which requires a bidder for a Dutch firm to buy the whole company. Comment! [Global & FX, M&A]

KPN's efforts to block Slim have looked doomed after it was unable to find a buyer or partner for its German E-Plus unit. (previous) 2 Comments [M&A, Tech]

Tuesday, June 12, 2012, 11:48 AM Although the markets disapprove of America Movil's (AMX) foray into Europe with KPN (KKPNY.PK), Emerging Money says the "markets are wrong." EU telcos will probably make profits regardless of the economic situation, which has caused KPN's shares to become "artificially low." Scooping them up "should be a good long-term strategic move for America Movil." 1 Comment [M&A]
