Deutsche Telekom Said to Weigh Exit Options for U.K. Mobile-Phone Venture
By Aaron Kirchfeld, Jacqueline Simmons and Matthew Campbell - Feb 16, 2012 4:31 AM GMT+0530
Deutsche Telekom AG (DTE), Germany’s largest telephone company, is evaluating options for an exit from the U.K. as it seeks to raise cash after failing to sell its T-Mobile USA unit, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The Bonn-based company is in early stages of deciding whether to sell its half of the Everything Everywhere wireless venture it owns with France Telecom SA (FTE), the people said, declining to be identified because the discussions are private. Deutsche Telekom has yet to hire investment banks and any decision on an exit is unlikely before later this year as it focuses on improving operational performance first, they said.
Mobile operators are re-evaluating their operations as revenue growth stalls in developed markets and regulators set limits on fees from services like international roaming. Paris- based France Telecom began a review of its European portfolio last year as part of an effort to concentrate on emerging markets, and has agreed to sell units in Austria and Switzerland in the past two months.
Options for Everything Everywhere may include France Telecom buying out its German partner’s stake, or a process to seek a third-party buyer for the entire operator, such as a group of private-equity firms or other phone operators, the people said. The French company could face financing challenges that would make taking full control of the venture difficult, they added.
Deutsche Telekom spokesman Andreas Fuchs declined to comment, saying the company has a “long-term commitment” to the U.K. market and that its venture is “competing successfully.” A France Telecom spokesman declined to comment.
T-Mobile USA
Deutsche Telekom and AT&T Inc. in December called off a $39 billion deal to sell T-Mobile USA to the U.S. phone company after concluding it would be too difficult to overcome opposition from regulators.
The former German phone monopoly had planned to use the proceeds to cut debt by 13 billion euros ($17 billion) and repurchase 5 billion euros of its own shares. Deutsche Telekom also needs funds to upgrade fiber and wireless networks in Germany and other European markets.
France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom agreed to merge their U.K. operations in 2009, creating the country’s largest mobile operator by leapfrogging Telefonica SA’s O2 unit. The deal took the U.K. from five full-service mobile operators to four, in line with Italy, Spain, and Germany. At the time, the venture was valued at between 6 billion pounds ($9.4 billion) and 7 billion pounds, one of the people said.
Everything Everywhere announced a management shake-up in September, cutting the number of directors from 25 to 10 as Olaf Swantee, the former head of France Telecom’s European operations, took over as chief executive officer. In that month, Deputy CEO Richard Moat, a Deutsche Telekom executive, left the operator along with five other senior managers.
The venture reported a 4.3 percent decline in third-quarter sales as it lost clients amid a push to shift them to longer- term contracts.

Latin sensation Shakira is recovering from a nasty encounter with a sea lion that left her hand looking mangled. The Colombian beauty, who is currently in Africa, detailed the attack on her Facebook page, blaming the incident on her Blackberry:
“This afternoon, I happened to see some sea lions and seals. I thought to myself how cute they were, so I decided to get a bit closer than all of the other tourists and went down to a rock trying to pet them — doing a baby talk while taking pictures … Suddenly, one of them jumped out of the water so fast and impetuously that it got about one foot away from me, looked me in the eye, roared in fury and tried to bite me.
Everyone there screamed, including me. I was paralyzed by fear and couldn’t move, I just kept eye contact with it while my brother ‘Super Tony’ jumped over me and literally saved my life, taking me away from the beast.
We both got our hands and legs scratched by the rocks while trying to protect ourselves.
I believe what happened is that it confused the shiny reflection of the Blackberry I was taking these pics with, with some sort of fish. It probably thought I was teasing it with food and then taking it away from it.
Wow! It’s funny that only half an hour before, I was complaining to my guide Andrew that I never get to see wild animals up close on adventurous trips. Oh well, I can’t say that anymore!! Now I’m off to see some penguins! I hope they are a bit more friendly!”
Yikes! Fortunately, the Latin singing sensation is OK minus the nasty scrape on her hand. But let this be a lesson all you Blackberry users: get an iPhone.

If it wasn't expected, it was certainly hoped for.
As previously suspected, several sources have now confirmed that Apple (AAPL) will unveil the iPad 3 during the first week of March -- specifically March 7. Along with delivering a quad-core A6 processor and an eye-popping 2048×1536 Retina Display, Apple has granted wishes and added 4G LTE networking with the upcoming tablet, according to the Wall Street Journal. The paper reports that Verizon (VZ) and AT&T's (T) 4G networks will support the device with Sprint (S) still being a toss-up.
While this will certainly add some spice to Apple's war with Android (GOOG), BlackBerry (RIMM), and Amazon (AMZN) tablets -- especially considering Android's market share is inching up as Apple's droops -- it's almost guaranteed that the iPhone 5 will come with 4G networking support.
It was clear that Apple's mobile 4G absence wasn't ideal, and its grand entry became more imminent the more LTE Android devices flooded the market. iPad 3 networking abilities aside, if Apple were to hamstring the iPhone 5 with only 3G, it would be disastrous. But to launch an LTE iPad 3 and then relegate the iPhone 5 to 3G networks? That would be downright unthinkable.
But will an LTE iPhone 5 suffer from the infamous 4G battery drain? Possibly, though if the iPad 3 is sporting a much larger battery to power the faster data speeds and Retina Display, the iPhone 5 will surely come equipped with more power. Then again, the iPhone 4S doesn't exactly have the longest battery life, and that's just on GSM and CDMA networks. Here's hoping Apple can tinker the 4G smartphone into respectable talk and standby time.
So with an LTE iPad 3 nearly confirmed, Apple has essentially announced an LTE iPhone 5.
