France Telecom denies interest in C&W

Tim Richardson writes in The Register:

France Telecom was kept busy this morning stamping out rumours that it is preparing to splash out £4bn to take over Cable & Wireless.

If the reports are correct, the deal would set the stage for a merger of the firms' ISP arms, Wanadoo and Bulldog.

The Sunday Telegraph quotes one unnamed executive as saying: "There is absolutely no doubt that France Telecom is looking at making a bid for Cable & Wireless."

However, France Telecom has denied the story saying it simply isn't true.


"France Telecom formally denies this information," a spokeswoman for the European telco told The Register.
