Telecommunications

The European telecoms industry is moving ahead with a long-awaited market consolidation. But the initial M&A euphoria can often be short-lived.

Deutsche Telekom has acquired the media rights to the biggest World Cup package of all time, for next year's tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada. Telekom expects strong interest in sub-licences, and wants to build on its commercial success with UEFA Euro 2024.
