AT&T Said to Still Eye Vodafone After Renouncing Takeover

AT&T continues to study a Vodafone takeover, and made a public announcement Jan. 27 to satisfy strict British stock-market regulations designed to limit merger speculation, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing a private matter. AT&T will probably need to wait out the deadline before making an offer, they said, although it can be waived with the consent of Vodafone’s board.
