Is Wind Blowing Hutchison’s Way?
March 25, 2003 - source: BWCS
Hutchison Whampoa, the main shareholder in Italian 3G licensee
H3G, has reportedly expressed an interest in acquiring a stake in
the country’s third largest GSM operator, Wind. According to a Reuters
report, Hong Kong-based Hutchison is looking to take nearly 25%
of Wind in an effort to boost its presence in the Italian mobile
market. Hutchison has denied the rumours.
H3G was one of two companies awarded UMTS licences in Italy that
do not have their own GSM network, so it is being forced to buy
GSM capacity from rival operators in order to launch a combined
2G/3G service. The company launched Italy’s first commercial 3G
service at the start of this month and has said that it has signed
up 50,000 customers, although a shortage of handsets has meant that
some subscribers are still waiting for their phones.
BWCS reported last week that Wind’s part owner France Telecom is
planning to sell its 26.6% stake in the Italian company to its partner,
the utility company Enel, for €1.5 billion. It is thought that once
it has 100% control, Enel will seek to offload Wind in order to
concentrate on its core energy activities. Wind currently claims
a 16% share of the Italian mobile market, with around nine million
subscribers.
