By Roxana Zega April 7 (Bloomberg) -- Altice may sell Portuguese cable operator Cabovisao after it won the bidding contest for Vivendi’s French phone unit SFR, MUSI analyst Rick Mattila says in client note. * Altice is using a lot of cash for SFR acquisition, so might look to sell something that is non-core * Deal would likely be relatively small in size given Cabovisao’s limited 6% market share in Portugal * Vodafone looks like the most obvious buyer * NOTE: Vodafone Open to Cable Acquisitions in Portugal, Colao Says * NOTE: Billionaire Drahi to Buy Vivendi’s SFR in $23 Billion Deal
