TIA TELECOM ITALIA SPA CL A

   By Pietro Lombardi 
 

Telecom Italia SpA (TIT.MI) said Wednesday that it will pursue a joint venture with Vivendi SA's (VIV.FR) Canal+ but negotiations must be restarted in the face of a Jan. 18 deadline to sign a definitive agreement that will be missed.

Telecom Italia said it considers its content offering strategic, and it plays a key role in the company's 2018-20 strategic plan. Negotiations with pay-TV company Canal+ toward the formation of a content JV will restart immediately, the Italian company said.

Vivendi controls Canal+, and has a 24% stake in Telecom Italia.
