Vodafone will not walk away from CWW bid: sources

London: Vodafone will not walk away from bidding for Britain’s Cable & Wireless Worldwide on Thursday, when a deadline for bids is due to expire, two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.

Tata Communications , which had also declared its interest, walked away on Wednesday when the two sides could not agree on price.
