Swisscom plans to buy Vodafone’s 25 per cent stake in Swisscom Mobile, estimated to be worth $2.45-$3.3 billion. If Swisscom succeeds, it would be benefited as a large portion of Swisscom Mobile’s earnings go to Vodafone. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Swisscom, with 64 per cent market share, has increased its wireless customers by more than 9 per cent over the previous year due to competitive pricing.
