LONDON—Vodafone Group PLC on Tuesday said it was in talks with
Liberty Global PLC regarding the creation of a joint venture in the
Netherlands to house both companies' operations in the country.
Vodafone said the discussions were ongoing and didn't extend
beyond the Dutch venture, adding that there was no certainty of any
agreement.
The news comes after the two companies ended talks in September
about a possible "exchange of selected assets" after four months of
discussions.
Liberty Global, which is controlled by U.S. cable tycoon John
Malone, operates in some of Europe's biggest markets, including
Germany, the Netherlands and the U.K., where it owns Virgin Media
Inc.
