Australia's TPG Telecom eyes Vodafone deal, shares soar
Australia's TPG Telecom Ltd (TPM.AX) said on Wednesday it was looking into a merger deal with rival Vodafone, a move that could provide a faster and cheaper entry into the mobile network market while tempering competition in the cut-throat industry. The news sent TPG's shares soaring 20 percent to a near-two-year high, their best daily gain since 2009. TPG and Vodafone Group PLC's (VOD.L) local venture said in separate statements they had engaged in "exploratory" talks, while offering no details including whether a deal would represent a takeover by either party.

Vodafone Hutchison Jumps for a Bigger Lifeboat
Vodafone Hutchison Australia Pty, the joint venture between Vodafone Plc and a unit of Victor Li’s CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd. that runs the nation’s third-largest mobile network, is in talks to merge with homegrown challenger TPG Telecom Ltd., the companies said in statements Wednesday. Its Ebitda, at about A$976 million in 2017, is greater than TPG’s A$835 million, but with A$7.57 billion in net debt Vodafone Hutchison will be doing very well if it gets an equity value of more than A$1 billion in any deal. The move is the latest in a string of ambitious deals by TPG, founded by Chairman David Teoh in 1986 and unrelated to the U.S. private-equity group.

Gatwick, UK's no.2 airport, shows flights on white boards after IT fails
Gatwick, Britain's second busiest airport, was forced to post flight information on white boards on Monday after an IT glitch meant its digital screens failed.

"Due to an ongoing issue with Vodafone - a provider of IT services for Gatwick - flight information is not being displayed correctly on the airport's digital screens and is currently being displayed manually in the terminals," the airport said in a statement.

[$$] Europe’s telecoms landscape warms to ‘maverick’ operators
Regulators in Germany and Belgium have in recent weeks opened the door to new entrants to the mobile sector. The advantages of encouraging a new generation of maverick telecoms groups has been kick-started by Iliad, the French company that proved to an enfant terrible in France after triggering a sustained price war in 2012 that caused mayhem for the established players. Iliad this year transplanted that model to Italy, having secured network infrastructure as part of the conditions to allow the merger of Three, a former European telecoms maverick itself during the 3G era, and rival Wind in 2016.

Vodafone Could Be Ripe for Activist Investors
A weak share price, a fragile dividend and a switch of chief executives: conditions at Vodafone Group Plc may be ripe for a shake-up by U.S. activist investor Elliott Management Corp. The move comes at a critical time for Vodafone, which is battling intense competition in Europe and trying to rescue its share price from an eight-year low. Outgoing Chief Executive Officer Vittorio Colao spent the past decade shifting Vodafone from a predominantly mobile carrier with sprawling global investments to one which is more focused on Europe and also offers bundled internet services.

Little wonder investors took seriously Monday's story in Dealreporter that the British telecom group had attracted the interest of ubiquitous corporate agitator Elliott Management Corp.

Orange's Bet on Spain Pays Off With Quarterly Earnings Beat
Orange SA is taking lessons from a price war in France beyond its home market to Spain, where a push to win subscribers paid off with a second-quarter earnings beat. The French telecom carrier is winning phone, internet and TV customers to the detriment of rivals in Spain, where the entrance of Masmovil Ibercom SA as a fourth operator in 2016 added competitive pressure. Comparable sales rose 1.8 percent for Orange in Spain, where it now has 2.6 million fiber broadband customers, compared with a 0.6 percent gain in France.
