Verizon Price Gap: $30 Billion
Verizon Communications Inc. is eager to buy Vodafone Group PLC out of their massive mobile-phone joint venture — but it will have to get over a $30 billion hurdle.
That amount is roughly the difference between what people on either side of the potential deal say Vodafone’s 45 percent stake in the biggest U.S. mobile operator, Verizon Wireless, is worth.
