What are the consequences for the staff? These questions need clear answers, and we need well established arrangements, says the Abvakabo official. América Móvil will also pay a visit to Minister Henk Kamp from Economic Affairs this Wednesday. Kamp wants to know what Carlos Slim from AMX plans to do with KPN. The Minister plans to clarify the importance of KPN to The Netherlands. América Móvil reported Monday that it aims to preserve the identity and brand of KPN after a takeover. Also, KPN Headquarters remains in The Hague. If AMX acquires no more than 95 percent of the shares ,KPN also retains stock market listing.
