Verizon Communications (VZ) CEO Ivan Seidenberg today indicated that there is no reason for the company to pursue a merger with Vodafone (VOD), which owns a 45% stake in Verizon Wireless. (Verizon owns the rest.)
“Absent new information, a merger doesn’t seem to have a lot of appeal,” Seidenberg told reporters today at a Council on Foreign Relations event, according to Reuters.
Seidenberg also said Verizon Wireless is open to selling the iPhone, but that timing would be up to Apple; in particular, he said the company would like to carry an LTE version of the phone.
“It’s their call,” he said. “Eventually it’s our view we’ll get to carrying Apple.”
