Egypt’s Sawiris, Russia’s VimpelCom Said to Discuss Merger

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris is in talks to merge his telecom assets, Egypt’s Orascom and Wind Italy, with VimpelCom Ltd. The merger would make Sawiris a significant minority in the new company. The merger would also give VimpelCom, Russia’s second largest mobile phone operator, access to African and Middle Eastern markets.
