John Malone is secretly pushing for a full-blown merger of Liberty Global and Vodafone despite asset swap talks.

"Mr Malone’s senior associates have visited the UK on multiple occasions in the past month and have discussed the plans with top 10 Vodafone shareholders, sources said.

The discussions with investors are happening in parallel with talks between Liberty Global and Vodafone itself."
Great find. How can Vodafone negotiate an asset deal with a company doing this, if the article is true?

Great point, Vodafone really has no shareholders with large stakes in the company at all though I think your 1.56% figure is too low. http://investors.morningstar.com/own...nerCountry=USA
