Vodafone executive says does not see conditions for Fastweb deal

[October 15, 2014]  MILAN (Reuters) - Telecoms group Vodafone does not see conditions at the moment for a deal to buy Italian broadband company Fastweb, the head of Vodafone in Italy, Aldo Bisio, said on Wednesday.

Sources familiar with the situation said this month Swisscom, which wholly owns Fastweb, was considering a possible sale of the unit, which is worth up to 5 billion euros ($6.3 billion) and has been a target for Vodafone.
