The UK power transmission utility, National Grid, has written down its Latin American telecoms holdings to the tune of £290m as it refocuses on its core business.
The company is selling off its stake in Argentinian telco Silica Networks, while further funding is being sought for its joint telecoms venture in Brazil, Intelig.
