BMW, Vodafone, Ericsson urge EU to consider 5G car standard
BMW (BMWG.DE), Vodafone (VOD.L) and Ericsson (ERICb.ST) made a last-ditch effort on Wednesday to persuade the European Commission to open the way for the use of 5G technology in cars, concerned about the EU executive's preference for a wifi-based technology being pursued by their rivals. The companies said it was crucial for the industry to have the freedom to adopt a range of technologies for internet-connected cars in a sector estimated to be worth billions of euros a year. "It's concerning that just two years later the principle of technological neutrality appears to be no longer adhered to by the European Commission," they said in a joint statement.

Vodafone may replicate elements of UK tower sharing venture elsewhere
Vodafone may replicate elements of its British mobile towers joint venture in other markets but not necessarily to the extent of sharing radio equipment in major cities, its chief executive said on Wednesday. Nick Read said on Tuesday that Vodafone could increase the utilisation of its assets such as 58,000 mobile phone masts it has in Europe, by encouraging rival operators to use them or selling a stake to a mobile tower operator. Such a plan could mirror a venture Vodafone has in Britain with Telefonica, named CTIL, which manages the mobile network infrastructure for both companies.

Stronger pounds weighs on FTSE, offsetting Vodafone uplift
MILAN/LONDON (Reuters) - The UK's top share index finished broadly flat on Tuesday after sterling strength on Brexit deal hopes weighed on exporters, offsetting gains for Vodafone, Experian and Melrose Industries. The FTSE 100 (.FTSE) index was up a marginal 0.01 percent, paring gains as sterling climbed to a 6-1/2 month high versus the euro after the cabinet office minister said there could be a Brexit deal in the next 24-48 hours. More pressure could be on the cards on Wednesday as the pound extended those gains after trading closed on a report that British and European negotiators have agreed on a text that deals with the Irish border, a key issue in Brexit talks.

Brexit, trade progress drive European stocks up after tech rout
European shares recovered on Tuesday as hopes for an easing of the Sino-U.S. trade war and an imminent Brexit deal chased away the previous session's fears of a peak in tech stocks. The pan-European STOXX 600 rose 0.7 percent in a broad-based recovery with Germany's DAX up 1.3 percent as investors turned to some strong results and tech stocks recovered. A report that China's top trade negotiator was preparing to visit the United States ahead of a meeting between the leaders of the world's two largest economies buoyed sentiment on trade.

Vodafone's new chief executive (VOD.L) said he would cut costs and seek to maximise the value of its masts and towers to drive higher returns at the world's second largest mobile operator after taking charge last month. Replacing Vittorio Colao at the top of the British company after the Italian ran the group for 10 years, former finance director Nick Read also said he would freeze the dividend until its large debt pile fell. "My new strategic priorities focus on ... radically simplifying our operating model and generating better returns from our infrastructure assets," Read said on Tuesday.
