Kroes targets telecom reform by May 2014
2013-05-27 11:39:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission targets implementation of a new telecom reform package before elections for the European Parliament in May 2014, said Neelie Kroes, the commissioner for the Digital Agenda. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Kroes said her full proposals would be detailed in July or August, before being put to EU leaders at their October summit, with the aim of getting the package approved by the European Parliament before elections in May 2014. In order to get her reforms implemented as soon as possible, she won't pursue a single regulator. Instead she will suggest that operators, which currently have to work with the regulator in each country where they are present, pick a "home" regulator and just deal with them. She also plans reforms to coordinate spectrum allocation of spectrum and cybersecurity more at the EU level.

Etisalat makes top bid for Maroc Telecom - report
2013-05-27 09:29:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) UAE-based operator Etisalat has offered a higher price for Vivendi's Maroc Telecom stake than rival Qatari bidder Ooredoo, Reuters reported citing two people familiar with the matter. Etisalat's bid needs further work, however, and has more legal conditions than Ooredoo's offer, so Vivendi has not yet made a final choice, the people said. While the exact prices of the offers were not clear, sources earlier told Reuters that they had come in lower than the EUR 5 billion Vivendi had initially hoped for and closer to the market value of the stake. Vivendi has been in talks in recent weeks with Etisalat to remove some of the legal clauses in its bid, the sources said. Etisalat has scheduled an extraordinary shareholder meeting on 28 May to approve the financing package for the bid. Ooredoo, meanwhile, crafted its offer with minimal conditions to make it simple and less risky for Vivendi, the group's strategy chief told Reuters earlier. Vivendi has not asked Ooredoo to improve its offer so far, the first source said.
