The Carphone Warehouse Group, the mobile phone retailer, said Thursday May 8, 2008, it had agreed to sell 50 percent of its retail operations to US electronics group Best Buy for 2.1 billion dollars (1.4 billion euros) in cash. Best Buy was to acquire half of The Carphone Warehouse’s European and US retail interests. The pair would then form a joint-venture company that would see the introduction of Best Buy stores across Europe. AFP PHOTO/PAUL ELLIS/FILES (Photo credit should read PAUL ELLIS/AFP/Getty Images)
