Vodafone has announced that they are acquiring Cable & Wireless Worldwide for around USD 1.68 billion.

Vodafone would gain wired telephony network in the UK market with this acquisition.

The company said: “The acquisition of Cable & Wireless Worldwide creates a leading integrated player in the enterprise segment of the UK communications market and brings attractive cost savings to our UK and international operations.”

Vodafone is already a giant in the wireless market in UK and this would boost their products and offerings in this market.
