A combination between LG and Vodafone has logic:
- Complementary cable presence in Germany
- Complementary fixed line positions in the rest of Europe
- Both use Tivo (Spain and UK)
There are competition issues in Germany, not really complimentary.
They'd need to sell things they just bought recently, according to press reports.
