D.Telekom eyes range of options for T-Mobile Netherlands -source

Reuters - UK Focus

FRANKFURT, Oct (HKSE: 3366-OL.HK - news) 21 (Reuters) - Deutsche Telekom (Xetra: 555750 - news) is eyeing other options for its T-Mobile Netherlands unit, not just a sale, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

Sources told Reuters on Tuesday that the German group was looking at a sale of the unit as part of a strategy to focus on offering packaged services, which include internet services as well as television and mobile.

Other options under consideration include a partnership, merging T-Mobile Netherlands with another company, or swapping the unit for a minority stake in another company, the person said. Deutsche Telekom earlier this year swapped its EE mobile phone operator for a stake in London-listed BT Group (LSE: BT-A.L - news) .
