A generation after "Cable Cowboy" John Malone transformed the pay-TV sector in the United States, he is back in the spotlight - this time in Europe, where he is plotting a role in the consolidation of the British telecoms market.

Combining their operations in Europe would create the continent's biggest communications company with broadband and mobile operations spanning several countries.
But with a market value of 61 billion pounds (US$88 billion)and a wildly different approach to debt and dealmaking, the blue-chip British mobile operator, the world's second biggest, is not an easy fit.
