BlackBerry co-founders consider takeover bid
2013-10-11 09:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) BlackBerry co-founders Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin are considering a joint bid to acquire the smartphone maker. They disclosed an 8 percent stake in the company in a SEC filing and said they have hired bank advisers to consider a full takeover of the group.
