Dish is reportedly considering acquiring T-Mobile

There have been many reports of Dish debating a potential acquisition of T-Mobile U.S. and the latest from Bloomberg suggests that Dish honcho Charlie Ergen has reached out to Deutsche Telekom for precisely this purpose. Deutsche Telekom is the majority stakeholder in T-Mobile U.S. It is still open to a sale even though the expected merger with Sprint fell through. Ergen reportedly approached Deutsche Telekom after T-Mobile and Sprint’s talks about a merger broke down last month. People familiar with the matter claim that so far Dish has not submitted a formal bid, it shouldn’t waste any more time if its really interested though. French telco Iliad also has its eyes on T-Mobile, and while its initial bid was rejected, its rumored to be joining forces with private equity groups for an increased bid.
