The question of how much spectrum T-Mobile has, needs or wants was asked and answered no fewer than a dozen times at the Deutsche Telekom Investor event that took place in the middle of January.

As T-Mobile works to boost its financial position in the US, they are considering a number of options that include the sale of non-strategic assets such as cell towers to raise cash for future investments.

At first I was going to let this report go because if taken at face value, it sounds like a Sprint story with no T-Mobile relation. However, I had a conversation last night with a fellow blogger who all but insisted that there is more to this than I was allowing myself to see.

The end of August was the last time we saw anything regarding T-Mobile merging/dealing/combining/partnering with another carrier or other entity. Three weeks of no similar stories is far too long for us to go so here we are back again with another report that Clearwire is “open” to a relationship with T-Mobile in some capacity. For Clearwire, the obvious... Read more » Here We Go Again, Sprint And T-Mobile Rumors Persist
Hey guess what? Another T-Mobile and Sprint merger/acquisition/partnership/holding hands while skipping in the park rumor. This time the Wall Street Journal has stated that Sprint, or more specifically their board of directors is debating whether or not to let rival T-Mobile USA invest in Clearwire. For the record this isn’t the first time Clearwire has popped... Read more » Deutsche Telekom CEO Says They Are Keeping T-Mobile USA, Reaffirms “Stick Together”
For quite a while now T-Mobile USA has been the subject of mergers, marriages, divorces and a few “make- me-want-to-throw-up-in-my-mouth” rumors with Sprint.
