The telco revealed that it was looking to buy assets where the two companies overlap, in markets including Germany, Czech Republic and Hungary. However, it urged that it was only in “early stage” discussions and that there were no plans to merge the two companies. Liberty Global owns telecoms and television business in more than 30 countries including 12 in Europe. It owns Virgin Media, which recently announced it is ramping up its original content drive, as well as co-owning UK production group All3Media with Discovery Communications. Vodafone and Liberty Global also operate a joint venture in Holland. “Vodafone confirms that it is in early stage discussions with Liberty Global regarding the potential acquisition of certain overlapping continental European assets owned by Liberty Global,” it noted in a statement. “There is no certainty that any transaction will be agreed, nor as to the terms, timing or form of any transaction. Vodafone is not in discussion with Liberty Global regarding a combination of both companies.”
