June 25 (Bloomberg) -- T-Mobile could see interest from
Dish Network, Comcast, American Movil if potential TMUS/Sprint
deal rejected on regulatory concerns, Gabelli analyst Sergey
Dluzhevskiy wrote in note earlier.
* Sprint still most likely to buy TMUS as would have most to
gain, likely willing to outpay others given possible
synergies
* Sees high probability of DISH bid for TMUS if S blocked;
with DTV/T deal DISH may lose 2 merger partners; Verizon may
like DISH spectrum, though “unenthusiastic” about buying
satellite TV ops
* Comcast busy with TWC now, though a bid in 12-24 mos.
wouldn’t surprise
* America Movil bid for TMUS “long shot”; since AT&T
expected to sell stake in AMZ, Carlos Slim may want to
consider U.S. market
* TMUS remains buy at Gabelli
* NOTE: Earlier, June 20, LCD news said Sprint Gets
Commitments for $20b Bridge Loan
