Belgium, fearing that its state phone company will be swallowed up by free competition in Europe, is trying to find partners for Belgacom – Belgacom is too small to stay alone, it needs to find one or two partners, Communications Minister Elio di Rupo told Belgian radio; industry sources told Reuter that a partial flotation was being considered, but that a private partner was also a possibility due to the fierce competition in the telecommunications sector and a decision could be made by spring.
