FRANKFURT, June 4 (Reuters) - Vodafone is looking ata possible takeover of Germany's biggest cable company KabelDeutschland again, the Wall Street JournalDeutschland reported, citing several people familiar with thematter.
In an article published on its website late on Monday, itcited the people as saying Vodafone had not yet decided whetherto make an offer, or when it might make a decision.
Vodafone owns some fixed-line assets in Europe, includingGermany where it offers mobile and fixed lines to private andbusiness customers, but it has so-called quad-play services withTV, fixed and mobile calls on superfast networks only inPortugal.
Investors had feared the trend for quad-play could forceVodafone to go on a Europe-wide spending spree for fixed-lineassets, and sources told Reuters in February that it wasweighing a 10-billion-euro bid for Kabel Deutschland.
But analysts had expected talks to die down after Vodafonelast month struck a deal with Deutsche Telekom allowing it to offer pay-TV over high-speed broadband to itsGerman customers.
