Telecom to launch LTE in Auckland in October
2013-04-09 01:40:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telecom New Zealand has unveiled its LTE rollout plans. The company plans to have LTE live on a large part of its smartphone network in Auckland by October this year. The company will then extend LTE coverage to Wellington and Christchurch by Christmas, and expects to have LTE live on close to half of its nationwide smartphone network during 2014. Telecom also announced hat it has selected Huawei to build its network of 4G-capable mobile sites known as the eUTRAN. Over the past three months Telecom has been trialling Huawei's LTE technology in Auckland and Rotorua. The testing included some new developments like carrier aggregation, which allows Telecom to use two different spectrum bands simultaneously, and in the trials it produced maximum peak speeds of up to 250 Mbps. Telecom said it has increased the speed, coverage and capacity offered by the smartphone network over time. Its programme of investment included installing dual carrier HSPA+ on more than half of mobile sites, fast backhaul to 90 percent of mobile sites, and from mid 2013 rolling out Optical Transport Network (OTN) technology to the network core.

2013-04-08 08:44:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia confirmed it has held preliminary talks with Hutchison Whampoa over a possible merger with 3 Italia. Telecom Italia said the talks were still at an early stage and it could not comment further. The topic will be discussed by the company's board of directors at a meeting scheduled 11 April, it said. The statement follows a request from the securities regulator Consob to clarify earlier media reports that Telecom and Hutchison were considering merging their mobile activities in Italy. Telecom Italia's TIM is already the biggest mobile operator in Italy with almost 35 percent of subscribers at the end of 2012, while 3 Italia had just over 10 percent of the market.

Telecom Italia to consider mobile M&A options - report
2013-04-05 09:22:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia's board plans to evaluate at its next meeting options to bolster the company's mobile business, including potential mergers and acquisitions, two people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg. One option that will be discussed at the 11 April gathering is a potential combination with Hutchison Whampoa's 3 Italia, one of the people said. While Telecom Italia could be interested in eliminating a competitor, the company doesn't want to spend cash on a deal and offering stock would dilute investors' interest, the person said. Italian paper La Repubblica reported that Hutchison is also considering the deal. It has hired Goldman Sachs to examine the possibility of merging 3 with Telecom Italia, the paper said without naming its sources. All the companies declined to comment.
