Metroweb suitor Telecom Italia reopens talks
Telecom Italia, the listed Italian telecommunication company, has reopens talks about Metroweb, the Italian fibre optic operator.
This was reported by daily Italian language La Repubblica which referred to an interview with Marco Patuano, chief executive of Telecom Italia, which will be published tomorrow in weekly Repubblica Affari e Finanza.
Patuano said Telecom Italia is still talking with financial investors FSI and F2i about Metroweb, after talks stalled on 19 February, because TI wanted to have at least 51% stake.
Today, Patuano was quoted as saying that any operator should have some kind of control over Metroweb, although the way the control takes place can differ.
