MILAN, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Telecom Italia (TIM) TLIT.MI would welcome any consolidation in the country's telecoms market, even if competitors should make the first move, the head of Italy's former phone monopoly said on Tuesday.
"We welcome any kind of market consolidation that will make the market more balanced and rational," Chief Executive Pietro Labriola told analysts during a post-results call when asked about a potential tie-up between rival Iliad and Wind Tre.
