French conglomerate Bouygues is offering euro10.5 billion ($14.4 billion) for control of mobile operator SFR telecommunications, entering a bidding war for the Vivendi unit. Bouygues said Thursday its offer to combine SFR with Bouygues Telecom would create a new number one mobile operator in France, leapfrogging current market leader Orange.
