London - Arabstoday
The offer values the entire issued ordinary share capital of CWW at around £1.044 billion (1.28 billion euros, $1.68 billion), Vodafone added.
Vodafone had first indicated in February that it was looking to bid for C&W, while India's Tata Communications dropped out of the takeover race earlier this month.

It was involved from the start in the laying of submarine cables around the world which linked the outposts of the British empire as it expanded in the 19th century.
