Verizon Steps up to the Plate, Looks purchase Vodafone’s Stake in Verizon
NEW YORK, NY, (NAMC) – As the telecommunications industry begins to roll back into a battle of two and as AT&T (NYSE:T ) is one the verge of consolidating the industry once again, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) is not waiting for the fallout.

According to reports Verizon is in talks with Vodfone (NYSE: VOD) to potentially buy the stake that Vodfone has in Verizon Wireless, a deal that could be worth close to $40 billion. But there may be a hiccup in the plans as venture capital firms are eyeing this as an opportunity, Apax and CVC Partners may be looking to purchase Vodafone itself for over $173 billion according to U.K. papers.
 
And the battle rages on.
