French telecoms conglomerate Iliad is selling most of its tower assets in France and Italy to Cellnex for €2 billion.
Reports by Rewheel showed US citizens already have the most expensive mobile data among all four-operator markets, but a move to reduce the number of MNOs could make it even worse.
French telecoms group Iliad has released its Q3 2018 numbers and they reveal continued strong subscriber growth from its new Italian business.
Iliad is reportedly on the verge of taking Italian watchdog Agcom to court over licence extensions in the valuable 3.5 GHz band which were offered to various WiMAX operators back in 2008.
A spectrum action in Italy covering a bunch of bands has concluded its first phase with prices roughly in line with expectations.
The share price of French telecoms wild-child Iliad has continued to tumble as lukewarm results fail to impress investors looking for a spark in the broadband business.
Iliad caused chaos in France with the launch of Free Mobile in 2012 and it looks set to repeat the trick in the Italian market.
French telco group Iliad has become Italy’s fourth mobile operator and is following the same playbook as it did in France.
It’s easy to get distracted by the whole Vivendi/TIM saga, but Iliad is another French business looking towards the land of pizzas, Vespas and slicked back hair for future fortunes.
French operator Iliad has teamed up with its founders private investment vehicle, NJJ, to buy a majority stake in Ireland’s largest telco, Eir.
We all knew it to be true, but new research from EY has confirmed disruptive business models are the biggest pet hate of CTOs and CIOs around the world.
Iliad has signed an agreement to become Italy’s fourth mobile network operator, following successful discussions with Three Italia and Wind.
French telecoms conglomerate Iliad is reportedly in talks to launch Italy’s fourth mobile network operator should the Hutchison/VimpelCom merger of Three Italia and Wind go ahead.
French telco Iliad has challenged the cloud storage market through its Online.net subsidiary, undercutting the standing players in the market.
Apax Partners has agreed to sell Orange Switzerland to French telecoms tycoon Xavier Niel-owned investment firm NJJ Capital for 2.3 billion. Apax bought the operator from France Telecom Orange in 2012 for €1.6 billion, but claims to have transformed the business since by upgrading its network to 4G and modernising its backend IT systems.
The CEO of Altice, Dexter Goei has indicated the French cable group could acquire Bouygues Telecom. According to a report, Goei said the firm, owned by billionare Patrick Darhi, would make a perfect candidate to buy the Telecom arm of Bouygues Group, a fellow French firm.
Iliad has ceased its pursuit of T-Mobile US after its second bid to acquire the business was rejected by owner Deutsche Telekom and some TMUS board members. This marks the end of a four-month project for Iliad trying to enter the US market.
The quarterly earnings season has provided a timely boost to the T-Mobile US acquisition saga. Apparently scared off by US regulators, Sprint ended its long courtship of DT’s US operation earlier this week, just after France’s Iliad had put in a surprise bid of its own.
Not content with making life miserable for the three incumbent operators in France, French telco Iliad has put in a surprise bid for T-Mobile US. It had been assumed acquisition of T-Mobile US by rival operator Sprint was a foregone conclusion, so Iliad’s 11th hour intervention will potentially ruffle a lot of feathers.
