As the press reported Telekom, there are renewed rumors of a sale of Hutchison Austria. It is believed that the new owners of ONE (soon to be orange) to a purchase of Hutchison 3G ("3") are interested.
This assumption is fostered by the fact that could share ONE stagnate in the Austrian mobile communications market and the mobile broadband market are reversed even and expand ONE / Orange enormously through a takeover of "3" is not only a blow to the customer base, but also the best developed (UMTS) network in Austria would have. The Telekom press also suggested by Hutchison 3G as sales interest since their levels are not enough participants on the Austrian mobile communications market in order to be economically profitable. The sale of India's Hutchison Essar to Vodafone last year, also by Telekom press interpreted as a signal for the sales readiness.
I personally think a sale of "3" means for realistic, yet it is questionable whether the parent company Hutchison Whampoa Limited in selling only one of its European subsidiaries is interested. In addition, other rumors that "3" is shown in Austria's Tele2 buying interest. If the vote would, that would be a strange behavior for a company that is itself just before the sale. Again, however, speaks for an interview on derstandard.at with "3" CEO Berthold Thoma, in which he even mentions a specific sum. Perhaps, if someone comes along who paid so much that you earn good money Much more than a billion. " (Interview on derstandard.at of 04.06.2008)
sale rumors of "3" There are, however, for many years and so far they have always made out to be wrong. From the perspective of the customer is to be hoped that it is not for sale, for more providers mean more competition and therefore better / cheaper prices.
