Well after Bharti's failed bid for MTN, another major Indian telecom company has jumped to buy MTN. This time it's Reliance Communications, India's No.2 mobile operator which is part of the Reliance ADAG Group.
MTN and Reliance Communications on Monday said they were in exclusive talks aimed at a potential combination of their businesses, that could create a USD 66 billion telecoms giant. Under the deal MTN would become a holding company of India`s No 2 mobile operator, and Ambani would in return get around a third in the South African firm, and keep an indirect holding of nearly 20 percent in Reliance Communications. This may result in a transfer of Chairman Anil Ambani`s two-thirds stake in the Indian firm to MTN.
That would trigger an open offer from MTN for another 20 percent of Reliance Communications, as Indian law mandates such an offer to shareholders after an acquisition of more than 15 percent of a company.
The management structure at MTN and RCom will remain unchanged but the companies may opt for a common board of directors eventually. MTN is Africa’s biggest phone firm with networks in 21 countries spanning South Africa to Nigeria to Iran. It has more than 68 million customers to RCom’s 45 million in India. MTN is valued at some $38 billion by market capitalization against RCom’s $28 billion.
This will be the second attempt by Reliance to try and beef up through deals. The company lost out to Vodafone in an auction for Hutchison Essar Ltd, in part because its advisers didn’t anticipate India’s mobile phone market will continue to expand as rapidly as it has done and the company failed to raise its bid. Seems like it's trying to catch up this time

After starting merger talks with African Telecom Giant MTN, Indian Telecom Major Bharati Airtel has said that it has ended merger talks with MTN. MTN has now presented a completely different structure, from what was agreed,'' Bharti said in the statement. ``Bharti has decided to disengage from the ongoing talks and has conveyed the same to MTN. 
The collapse of the talks ends Bharti Chairman Sunil Mittal's plans to unite two companies with a combined market value of more than $70 billion that would offer mobile-phone services to 1.7 billion people stretching from the Cape of Good Hope to the Himalayas. Bharti's departure may open the door for potential bidders such as Emirates Telecommunications Corp.
Bharti said it ended the talks late yesterday after MTN presented a new structure in which Bharti Airtel would become a subsidiary of the South African company. The Bharti family and Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. would have had to exchange their majority stake in Bharti Airtel for a controlling stake in MTN, according to the structure, Bharti said.
Dropping the bid will allow Bharti to focus its investments on maintaining dominance in India's market and fend off competition from Reliance Communications Ltd. and Vodafone Group Plc. Mumbai-based Reliance, India's second-largest operator, is rolling out a second network this year.
