08/26 05:38 Vodafone AirTouch<VOD.L> seeks U.S. boost By Kirstin Ridley LONDON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Vodafone AirTouch Plc, the world's biggest cellphone company, is seeking further U.S. expansion just two months after securing an ambitious $62 billion takeover of one of America's biggest wireless operators. An industry source said on Thursday that British-based Vodafone wanted to develop its North American operations and he said east coast operator Bell Atlantic <BEL.N>, the company Vodafone outbid for AirTouch, was an obvious possibility. "I don't think it's any secret that Vodafone is looking at what they should do in the U.S.," the industry source said. "Clearly there is a relationship with Bell Atlantic, and trying to do something with them is one of the options." But Vodafone played down a Times newspaper report that it had already started talks with Bell Atlantic about forming a joint venture, saying that it was too soon to start speculating about any change of strategy in the U.S. "We (already) have roaming agreements and there are all sorts of options," a Vodafone spokesman said. "You can build your own network out, continue with roaming agrements, you can buy other companies. But it's been less than two months since the merger went through. These things take time, and nothing has really changed since then." COPYRIGHT ¸ 1999 REUTERS LIMITED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
