Valsts Sarunas Iestrēgušas
Šķiet, ka valsts sarunas ar Telia par uzņēmumu Latvijas mobilais Telefons (LMT) un Tet nākotni un piederību ir nonākušas pilnīgā strupceļā. Ir 2025. gada marts,bet nav dzirdēts par valsts apņēmību izpirkt Telia vai panākt abu akcionāru paritāti apvienotajā uzņēmumā. Tas liek domāt, ka apvienošana ir vismaz iepauzēta.
Kanibalizācija Turpinās
Lai gan citu valstu pieredze rāda, ka mobilo un fiksēto operatoru saplūšana ir dabiska attīstība, Latvijā LMT un Tet turpina ”kanibalizēt viens otru vēl kādu laiku.” Šī situācija rada zaudējumus abiem akcionāriem.
LMT and tet Merger: What’s the Current Status?
Updated: March 11, 2025
Key Questions About LMT, Tet, and Telia’s Involvement
Are the latvian government’s negotiations with Telia regarding LMT and Tet at a standstill?
According to reports from March 2025, negotiations between the Latvian government and Telia concerning the future and ownership of Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT) and Tet appear to have reached a deadlock. There have been no announcements of the state buying out Telia’s shares or achieving parity between shareholders in a merged entity, suggesting that the merger is at least paused.
What is the current ownership structure of Tet?
The latvian state, through Public Asset Manager Possessor, holds a 51% stake in Tet. Telia’s subsidiary,Tilts Communications,owns the remaining 49%.
What is the current ownership structure of LMT?
Telia and its subsidiary, Sonera Holding, collectively own 49% of LMT. the Latvian state owns 28% through the Latvian State Radio and Television Centre. Tet also holds a 23% stake in LMT.
What options have been discussed in the negotiations between Latvia and Telia?
Unofficial sources suggest several options have been considered,including:
- Merging Tet and LMT.
- Maintaining the status quo.
- A full or partial buyout of the companies from Telia.
- Divestment of certain assets.
What does “cannibalization” mean in the context of LMT and Tet?
In this context, ”cannibalization” refers to LMT and Tet competing against each other in the Latvian market, potentially undermining each other’s business and profitability. Rather of leveraging synergies as a merged entity, they continue to operate as separate entities, resulting in losses for both shareholders.
Why is the consolidation of mobile and fixed-line operators considered a natural advancement?
In many countries, merging mobile and fixed-line operators allows for:
- Synergies in infrastructure and technology.
- Combined service offerings for customers (e.g., bundled mobile, internet, and TV packages).
- Cost efficiencies by eliminating redundancies.
- Stronger competitive positioning in the market.
