European telco Liberty Global and Vodafone have put the kibosh on their possible merger, the mobile network operator announced late Monday.
Back in June Vodafone confirmed that it was in the early stages of discussions with Liberty Global regarding a possible exchange of selected assets between the two companies.
And now it appears that all the asset swap talks have come to nothing as well.
“We have not arrived today, but rather we are not shutting the entryway on potential examinations later on”, one individual said.
Vodafone has announced that talks with cable firm Liberty Global over a potential asset swap have been terminated.
A lot changes in the Europe’s telecommunications and cable industries would have happened if the deal between the two Companies must have signed.
“Vodafone’s natural income patterns and rating is liable to enhance during a period when Liberty is discovering the going harder from the occupants who are sending more fiber”, its analysts said. Earlier this month Bloomberg reported that Liberty Global’s owner John Malone indicated that a deal between his company and Vodafone looked unlikely, saying that there had not yet been a structure proposed for a deal that he would take to his shareholders.
The companies had covering businesses in seven nations, yet an advantage swap would just have been a distinct advantage in Britain, Germany and the Netherlands, analysts at rating office Moody’s said.

Analysts at Jefferies, noting that the talks could resume, said they continued to see Vodafone as having weak stand-alone prospects.
