Liberty Global Plc has revived talks to acquire Dutch broadband provider Ziggo NV as Europe’s largest cable company -- controlled by U.S. billionaire John Malone -- expands its footprint in the region.
Ziggo said in an e-mailed release today “it is currently in discussions with Liberty Global regarding a potential offer” after Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, reported one was being prepared. Liberty Global may make a bid before the end of this year, the people said, asking not to be identified because no final decision has been made.
