“Versatel and Tele2 are currently considering possible alternatives, amongst others Versatel acquiring Tele2’s Dutch and Belgian activities. It is anticipated that to 1 September 2006, a further press release will be issued on the outcome of these discussions,” Versatel said in a press release.
A company spokeswoman told ANP news agency that the companies “are taking a break” but insisted this did not mean the merger was called off entirely.
