T-Mobile US might attract Vodafone or Dish as rival bidders to Sprint
Sprint Corporation is considering a takeover of T-Mobile US, the US telecommunications unit of German Deutsche Telekom. It might attract the UK Vodafone or the US Dish as bidders in addition to Sprint Corporation. Without citing a source the German daily Rheinische Post named Vodafone as a possible bidder, while another German daily, Sueddeutsche Zeitung speculated that Dish is a possible bidder.
Frankfurter Allgemine said Sprint has not yet decided whether to submit an offer. Wall Street Journal last week reported speculation that Sprint is preparing a USD 20bn offer which could be launched in the first half of 2014.
