OSLO, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Norwegian phone group Telenor said on
Wednesday that it was open to possible entry into India's growing mobile market.
"Concerning India, we can say that we are constantly moving around in the
world assessing possibilities. (And) we have recently been in India," Telenor
spokesman Dag Melgaard said.
"We have previously also stated that India was too big (for Telenor), as we
have said about China, but that doesn't stop us from assessing such
possibilities," Melgaard added.
Several media reports in past days have linked Telenor to a potential move
into India. Telenor says it is the second biggest non-Asian operator in Asia
after Vodafone , with mobile assets in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand and
Malaysia.
