Italian government leaves stern message for Deutsche
Article Abstract:
There is considerable political opposition in Italy to the planned merger of Deutsche Telekom and Telecom Italia. In particular, Italian politicians would be unwilling to agree to a deal in which the new concern would be controlled by German law. There is also concern among Italian politicians about the speed at which Deutsche Telekom will be privatized. If the government prevents the merger, as seems likely, Telecom Italia will have to fend off the hostile bid from Olivetti.
