Liberty Cable: There is no certainty that any transaction will be agreed, nor is there certainty with respect to which assets will ultimately be involved, the firm said in a statement to the stock market, according to The Independent. Vodafone is not in discussions with Liberty Global concerning a combination of the two companies . Analysts have suggested Vodafone UK, Dutch and Germany businesses would complement Liberty Cable services and enable a combined group to bundle television and telecoms packages to customers. But Vodafone, the world second largest mobile telecoms firms, said yesterday that, although there have been early discussions of an exchange of assets with the largest cable TV firm in Europe, this was the extent of the contact. Firms in the sector are all hoping to boost profits and market share by providing a one-stop shop for pay-TV, broadband, landline and mobile services. Li Ka-shing Three is trying to buy O2 from Spain Telefonica for £10.25bn and BT is set to purchase rival operator EE in a £12.5bn deal. Speculation about Vodafone future has intensified in the wake of a wave of consolidation in the telecoms sector this year.
