Generally, joint ventures don't last forever and eventually one party buys the other out or the joint venture is floated or sold. However, VM O2 has only been going a couple of years and there's probably more cost and cash to be taken out of the business. I would expect ownership to remain as is for three more years with Liberty more likely to exit the business than Telefonica.

However, I don't see why Verizon would want to buy the company nor do I think the news would come via Media Boy.

I guess I'm agreeing with both you and jfman!
