Altice International is considering selling the infrastructure assets of its Portuguese business separately after a plan to dispose of the entire unit stalled.

The telecommunications empire of Franco-Israeli billionaire Patrick Drahi has been seeking to dispose of assets to deleverage the business after years of debt-fueled acquisitions. Altice’s Portuguese assets include the carrier MEO as well as a stake in fiber-optic network Fastfiber, which it jointly owns with Morgan Stanley’s infrastructure arm.
