This is basically Malone taking a punt out there and getting any potential deal on his terms.
It could happen, but it would depend if the Vodafone board have the stomach for it as it would essentially be Liberty buy out of Vodafone, not the other way around.

Juat to correct myself.
It's the non-European operations that are valued at 30million. So it would be more of an equitable match up in Europe.
Anyway still a long way off.
