Watchdog sees complications with Liberty-Kabel deal

Posted on by

BONN, Germany (Reuters) - A takeover of Kabel Deutschland (Other OTC: KBDHY - news) by rival Liberty Global (NasdaqGS: LBTYA - news) would be more complicated from an anti-trust point of view than Kabel's acquisition by Vodafone (LSE: VOD.L - news) , Germany's cartel office said on Wednesday.

Vodafone on Monday agreed to buy Kabel Deutschland, Germany's largest cable operator, for 7.7 billion euros ($10.1 billion), beating a rival approach made by Liberty.

But if Liberty were to return with a counter bid it would face difficulties due to competition issues, the head of the German cartel office said.

"Without any doubt anti-trust problems will arise in the case of a merger between Liberty Global and Kabel Deutschland," Andreas Mundt told reporters at a press conference in Bonn.

Mundt also said that Liberty's 3.16 billion-euro ($4.13 billion) takeover of smaller peer KabelBW was approved in 2011 only after far-reaching conditions were set to satisfy the regulator, since it already owned Unity Media, Germany's second-largest cable operator.

Liberty is still considering its options following the Vodafone offer for Kabel Deutschland, a person familiar with the deliberations told Reuters.

However, Liberty may still face a setback in its takeover of KabelBW as Deutsche Telekom (Xetra: 555750 - news) challenged the approval decision last year in a court case which opened on Wednesday.

Liberty Global and Kabel Deutschland have been winning customers from Deutsche Telekom with their expansion into broadband.

Their cable lines, designed to deliver TV to homes, have been upgraded to carry voice calls and Internet at speeds often five times faster than competing services offered by Deutsche Telekom and others.

During the court hearing in Duesseldorf on Wednesday the terms of the KabelBW deal were closely questioned again, a spokesman for the court said.

The New York Liberty haven't been able to solve the turnover troubles that have plagued them in the early going.

They also haven't been able to figure out how to win in Washington State throughout most of their history.

The slumping Liberty look to take better care of the basketball and snap an eight-game road skid against the Storm on Friday night.

New York (4-4), which has committed a WNBA-worst 19.5 turnovers per game, finished with 17 in an 87-74 loss to Chicago on Wednesday.

"We went back to the ways we had in the first part of the season - turning the ball over and we're not good enough to turn the ball over like we did in spurts,'' said coach Bill Laimbeer, whose team has committed 38 giveaways while dropping its last two games.

Guard Cappie Pondexter had 21 points and finished with one turnover in the opener of a four-game trip after accounting for a team-worst seven in a 78-77 loss to San Antonio on Sunday.

Pondexter, the team leader with 17.0 points per game, has averaged 20.0 in her last three contests. She scored a game-high 23 in an 84-66 loss in the team's last trip to Seattle on Aug. 26.

New York, 0-3 away from home, hasn't beaten the Storm (4-4) on the road since a 67-62 victory at Spokane Arena on June 26, 2004. The Liberty's last victory at Seattle was May 30, 2002, and New York is 3-9 all-time on the road in the series.

While they won't have to deal with injured stars Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson, who combined for 34 points in the last meeting, the Liberty will have to contend with forwards Tina Thompson and Camille Little.

Both players, however, are coming off rough performances. Little averaged 17.7 points during a three-game winning streak but matched a season low with six in a 92-70 loss at Tulsa on Saturday.
