2014-01-22 08:50:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Amazon.com is in talks with media companies to add live TV channels to its Prime Video services, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal. Prime already offers a range of on-demand content, and the new service would feature live channels like those seen on cable and satellite TV. A spokesman for Amazon said the company did not have plans to license TV channels or offer a pay-TV service, but the company continues to work on expanding the selection on Prime, including commissioning its own content. According to the report, Amazon is still in the early stages of discussions with media companies, and it isn't clear it will move forward, the people familiar with the matter said. Amazon is also developing a set-top box to stream video, much like a Roku player, the Wall Street Journal previously reported.

(Telecompaper) Lenovo announced that it's in preliminary negotiations on a potential acquisition. While the company did not provide further details, the statement follows reports Lenovo's in talks to acquire IBM's server business. The two companies held talks almost a year ago on a similar deal, but could not reach agreement on price, the Wall Street Journal reported. IBM is looking to exit the low-margin server business in order to concentrate more on software and services. For Lenovo, the takeover would provide a substantial boost to its minor position in the server market and provide a new growth area to offset the weakness in the PC market.

Softbank starts talks with DT on T-Mobile takeover - report
2014-01-20 08:52:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Softbank has entered direct talks with Deutsche Telekom to resolve obstacles to a potential merger of their US mobile operators, Sprint and T-Mobile, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg. While SoftBank has assurances from banks that financing for a deal will be available, an agreement could still take months to reach, the report said. Unresolved issues include how much cash and stock SoftBank will pay for Deutsche Telekom's 67 percent stake in T-Mobile US, and how Sprint and T-Mobile will be integrated. Deutsche Telekom wants an all-cash offer for T-Mobile, which has a market value of about USD 26 billion, and SoftBank is trying to finance a deal to provide as much cash as possible, one of the sources said. Also still to be resolved are the size of a breakup fee in case regulators strike down a deal, two of the people said. Separately, Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Hoettges told Bloomberg that the company had recouped its investment in T-Mobile US, with an increase in the unit's value compensating for the EUR 7.4 billion writedown on the asset in 2012. In an interview, Hoettges said the value of T-Mobile US was back at the same level as when the company considered a sale of the US operator to AT&T. This means the 67 percent stake is worth around USD 42 billion. The CEO declined to comment on whether DT is in talks again to sell T-Mobile US.
