John Malone’s Liberty Global Plc, the European cable operator, is in talks to acquire Intel Corp.’s online pay-TV service under development, said three people with knowledge of the situation.
Malone would use Intel’s system outside the U.S., said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. London-based Liberty Global owns Virgin Media in the U.K., and operates in Germany, Belgium and elsewhere. Negotiations are early and could fall apart, said the people, who declined to comment on the price being discussed.
