Vodafone and Telecom Italia are expected to approve a merger of their Italian towers in August, Reuters reports. A group of banks including Mediobanca and Goldman Sachs is preparing up to €2.5 billion in preliminary financing, according to the linked story.

Vod have just announced that the Liberty deal has been approved by EU regulators:

www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=2 ... 9813F&fe=1

It will be interesting to see if they make a go of this\, they are claiming bug cost saving and revenue enhancing synergies from the combination:

The transaction is expected to generate cost and capex synergies with a net present value of over €6 billion after integration costs, and revenue synergies with an NPV exceeding €1.5 billion from cross selling to the combined customer base. Together with the standalone growth potential of the acquired assets, these synergies support double-digit free cash flow per share accretion (before integration costs) from the third year post completion for Vodafone Group.



Though it all seems to be well in the future at 3 years post completion.

Trading update for the quarter ended 30 June 2019


· Group revenue of €10.7 billion, down by €0.2 billion due to foreign exchange rate effects.

· Q1 organic service revenue declined 0.2%*, improving compared to Q4 (-0.7%**); gradual recovery expected to continue.

· Sequential progress in Europe, with service revenues -1.7%* (Q4: -2.1%**), as market conditions continued to improve in Italy and retail growth in Germany remained robust, offsetting the impact of competitor promotions in Spain.

· Rest of the World grew 5.3%* (Q4: 5.7%*) as the impact of regulation introduced in March in South Africa was offset by strong growth ahead of inflation in other markets.

· Good progress on strategic priorities during the quarter:

VODAFONE PIONEERS INNOVATIVE NETWORK TECH TO INCREASE SUPPLIERS AND EXTEND RURAL INTERNET ACCESS

· Developing 'Open Radio Access Networks' (OpenRAN) will enable Vodafone and the telecom industry to:

- introduce a wave of new 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G technology vendors - in addition to the existing market leaders - improving supply chain resilience;

- connect more of the world's most rural communities to the internet using standardised, lower cost network equipment; and

- enhance coverage in cities, e.g. using Vodafone's Open CrowdCell 'small cell' technology.

· Vodafone will trial OpenRAN for the first time in a developed market - the UK - as the technology is introduced in Europe ahead of schedule.

· Vodafone also launches OpenRAN trials in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Mozambique building on experience in South Africa and Turkey.

VODAFONE LAUNCHES HALF-SIZED SIM CARDS TO REDUCE PLASTIC WASTE

Vodafone is replacing the standard credit card-sized SIM holder with a new half-sized format that reduces by 50% the amount of plastic used to produce SIMs as part of a wider strategy to minimise the company's use of all non-essential plastics.

Starting from Christmas 2019, Vodafone stores will offer customers a range of eco-friendly accessories under the label 'Red Loves Green'. These will include 100% biodegradable or recyclable phone cases made from, for example, reused ocean plastic, plus charging banks and docks made from sustainable materials and plastic-free packaging. Vodafone plans to expand its range of 'Red Loves Green' products at retail during 2020.

Not much, but every little helps, so they say. Either way, I’m pleased to see one of my HYP holdings doing their bit.
