Telecom Italia to abandon fixed grid spin-off plan - report

2013-10-22 09:35:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia is to withdraw its plan to raise much-needed funds by spinning off its fixed network, reports Bloomberg, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. The plan, championed by former chairman Franco Bernabe, was initially approved by the board in May before a decision by regulator Agcom in July forced the company to put the project on hold. Telefonica's move gradually to increase its influence on Telecom Italia also slowed down the proposal to raise as much as EUR 14 billion through the network unbundling, with the Spanish operator said to prefer the option to raise around EUR 9 billion by selling off Telecom Italia's Latin American assets.
