Vodafone shares jumped over 4% in London today after John Malone, chairman of cable group Liberty Global (NASDAQ:LBTYA), opened the door to a long mooted merger of the two groups. Malone called the combination a "great fit" and cited "very substantial synergies if we could find a way to work together or combine the companies with respect to western Europe." A tie-up would create a telecom behemoth, between Liberty's $45B in market value and Vodafone's (NASDAQ:VOD) $93B.
