Talks resume as rumors of a possible T-Mobile takeover by Sprint and Deutsche Telekom become possible. Both conglomerates are holding meetings to discuss a possible acquisition. According to some reports, discussions between the two companies have been taking place on and off for some time, and one of the major areas of dispute is T-Mobile USA’s valuation. Should Sprint and Deutsche Telekom eventually come to terms, the deal would reportedly give Deutsche Telekom a sizable stake in Sprint Nextel Corp. following the merger — up to 50%. A Deutsche Telekom spokesperson said only that the company “could sell all or part of the U.S. business, and all options are open.”
