b. Vodafone
c. Vodacom
d. None of the above
ANSWER: Vodacom
Tata Communications said it will sell majority of its subsidiary Neotel's fixed line assets to Vodacom South Africa but will retain control of licences including spectrum. The deal was agreed to in May 2014. In dollar terms, the value of transaction at that time was around USD 676 million which has come down to USD 479 million due to depreciation in value of South African rand.
