(Telecompaper) America Movil announced that it has held cooperation talks with other shareholders of Telekom Austria Group, including the government holding company, Oesterreichische Industrieholding (OIAG). The company said it may start formal negotiations on setting up a shareholders' syndicate agreement with OIAG. However, the process is still at a very early stage and an agreement may not be reached.
