Vodaphone do it again!
from the the-epic-european-telecom-wars dept
It seems that Vodaphone Airtouch have blocked one of Mannesman's supposed escape routes from the recent hostile bid by partnering with Vivendi (the french conglomerate). Mannesman now has about 8 days left before it has lost its battle, its really impressive to observe how rapid Vodaphone is moving to block all possible escape routes for Mannesman (truly predatorial). As always, I'll keep you upto date with all the latest action!Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
