Vodafone losses

[charlie]

Seems Vodafone run a similar financial model to my domain investments

Vodafone made a £14.9bn ($27.9bn) loss last year - a record for a UK firm - after writing down the value of assets.

However, the real income generated by the Mannesmann did not live up to the £112bn price tag, and now Vodafone has adjusted the value of its subsidiary on its books - a process that accountants call a write-down

I believe i also do a lot of write-downs

That's an unreal amount of money, makes you wonder how they can survive it.

I can't stand Vodafone, not that any of the other UK operators are much better, but they are certainly at the bottom of the pile in my books.

Well they did make £8.2 billion.

No wonder they keep telling me that I still owe them money.

They acquired the second biggest cell phone operator of Turkey for $4.5bn. The deal is completed and money is transferred.

Crap, my phone bills are going to get a price hike then
I am assuming they mean 1000 million when they say billion?
