HELSINKI, Finland (Reuters) - Finland's largest telecom operator Sonera on Monday confirmed it was in merger talks with the region's largest operator Telia, but said it was too early to predict the outcome.
Consolidation in the European telecom industry has largely been on ice for over a year, with many groups that spent freely in the tech and telecom boom of early 2000 instead focusing on getting their debt-heavy balance sheets under control.
But with Sonera's finances steadily improving and Telia in a strong financial position, analysts have said the time may be right for a merger, which would strengthen the two companies positions in relation to bigger European rivals.
