Providence Equity Partners is preparing to take public Germany’s biggest cable television operator, a shift from the equity firm’s initial plans to sell Kabel Deutschland GmbH, according to news reports.

Providence-based ProvEquity changed its plans because the firm believes listing Kabel Deutschland on a stock exchange will lead to a higher valuation, Reutersreported, citing two unnamed sources.
