Hungary to hike telecom tax
2013-06-18 08:49:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Hungary's government will increase the telecommunication tax as part of a budget-tightening plan aimed at avoiding penalties from the EU, writes local publication Portfolio.hu. EU finance ministers are likely to endorse the European Commission's recommendation to not open an excessive deficit procedure against Hungary. The EC made this recommendation at the end of May, while announcing the reopening of the EDP for Malta. Other measures announced by Hungary's government include the doubling of the financial transaction tax and the increase of the mining fee. Introduced in Hungary for fixed and mobile voice and mobile SMS/MMS services from 1 July 2012, the telecom tax will be increased to HUF 3 per minute and per SMS/MMS, and the cap for businesses will be doubled to HUF 5,000.

Vivendi urges Orange to enter Maroc Telecom race - report
2013-06-17 18:03:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Vivendi is pushing for France Telecom-Orange to bid for the 53 percent stake it is selling in Maroc Telecom, people familiar with situation told the Wall Street Journal. Orange has been weighing whether to join the contest for several months but has yet to make a decision. Quatar's Ooredoo (Qtel) pulled out of the bidding last week, leaving only the UAE's Etisalat, which has a presence elsewhere in Africa, according to the report. Telecompaper previously reported that Korea Telecom submitted a bid. Orange may face regulatory hurdles given that it already owns 40 percent of Maroc Telecom rival Meditel. Vivendi is selling its controlling stake in Maroc Telecom to raise cash as part of a renewed focus on its media affiliates.

Ooredoo pulls out of bid for Maroc Telecom
2013-06-17 07:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Qatar-based Ooredoo has withdrawn its bid for Vivendi's 53 percent stake in Maroc Telecom, leaving rival Etisalat as the remaining bidder, Reuters reports. Jeremy Sell, Ooredoo's chief strategy officer, said valuation and frustration with the process are the reasons why Ooredoo dropped its bid. Sources told Reuters in May that Etisalat's bid was higher than Ooredoo's, though it contained more conditions and needed more work than the Qatari bid. The stake is worth EUR 4.2 billion at current market valuations. Sources told Reuters that a final announcement could be made in the coming weeks as Etisalat has agreed to remove some legal conditions that were hampering its bid.
