母公司获颁缅甸执照 数码网动向受关注
（吉隆坡28日讯）继母公司挪威电讯（Telenor）击退其余10个对手，包括亚通集团有限公司（AXIATA，6888，贸易服务组），赢得缅甸2张电讯执照之一后，数码网有限公司（DIGI，6947，基建公司组）可能成为焦点。
分析师早前披露，挪威电讯在缅甸胜出后，将需要获得现金，因而数码网可能会进一步提高股息派发。
数码网已表示，正考虑商业信托架构，观察这个途径是否提升其资本架构，并容许派发更高股息。
不过，一些人士认为，挪威电讯可能有意延迟派发更高股息，直到它是否可提高在数码网现有49%的股权明朗化之后。
缅甸通讯与资讯科技部已指定挪威电讯和卡塔尔经营商Ooredoo为该国2线电讯执照的赢家。
昨日上载到该部网站的声明中，电讯经营商、投标评估和选择委员会说，一个包括法国电讯-Orange公司和丸红集团组成的财团，已被列为的后备名单，以在成功申请者一旦无法符合挑选后需求作出取代。
在11名技术申请中，只有5项符合它们招标的最低500分。
得标者将在5年内涵盖缅甸75%地区，或面临履约保证金被没收的风险。
除了亚通集团，其他失败者包括新加坡电信和亿万富豪为后盾的Digicel，后者是联伙以缅甸为基地并于新加坡上市的佑玛战略控股有限公司。
一名亚通集团发言人在声明中指出：“亚通集团对无法赢得这项投标失望。不过，它对在众多环球业者热衷该市场中仍可入选感到荣幸。”
他并没有透露该公司是否会依循其他途径进军缅甸。
一名分析师指出，亚通集团现在可能支付更多股息，因它已不须耗巨资于缅甸。他也指出，进军缅甸的其他途径可能涉及获得一名当地伙伴的需要。

AirAsia terminates Japan JV
PETALING JAYA: AirAsia Bhd has terminated its AirAsia Japan joint venture with ANA Holdings Inc, calling off the partnership with the Japanese airline due to differences in management.
The joint venture had faced numerous challenges from its inception, stemming mainly from a fundamental difference of opinion on cost management and the base of the domestic operations.
Earlier this month, the Malaysian low cost carrier (LCC) had hinted on the possibility of dissolving the joint venture.
AirAsia group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes (pic) had said: “I have great respect for ANA as the leading legacy airline in Japan but it is time for us to part ways and focus our attention on what we do best, which is running a true LCC.”
He had added that despite the cost issues, the AirAsia brand had resonated with Japanese customers and that he remained positive on the Japanese market, believing there was tremendous opportunity for a LCC to succeed tracking AirAsia X's success.
“We have not given up on the dream of changing air travel in Japan and look forward to returning to the market.”
The termination agreement comprises the acquisition of AirAsia's entire stake in AirAsia Japan by ANA for 2.45 billion yen (RM80.48mil).
AirAsia had subscribed to 25,120 voting shares and 23,880 non-voting shares at 50,000 yen per share, representing 49% of the paid-up share capital of AirAsia Japan.
AirAsia Japan will return all AirAsia aircraft leased to it and pay all monies accrued from the leasing of the aircraft to AirAsia by November this year.
It will also settle any outstanding invoices due to AirAsia accrued from the commencement of operations. The former will “unwind the use of the AirAsia brand in its operations, including the name of AirAsia Japan itself by November”.
Flights up to Oct 31 will continue as planned. Following the transfer of shares and payment of the purchase price, the shareholders agreement, the brand licence agreement and other commercial contracts between the parties will be terminated immediately.
