Verizon denies intention to merge with or buy Vodafone

Verizon Communications said it does not “currently have any intention” to merge with or buy its partner Vodafone Group, either alone or in conjunction with others, in response to press reports.

However, the telephone company said it would still be a willing buyer of Vodafone’s 45 per cent share of their Verizon Wireless US venture, in line with public statements Verizon has made many times over the years.
