Deutsche Telekom Obviously Wants a Sprint Acqusition of T-Mobile US

Acknowledging the significant opposition by U.S. regulators and antitrust officials, T-Mobile says it is "open" to an acquisition of T-Mobile US by Sprint.

Of course T-Mobile is open to such a deal: it would allow Deutsche Telekom to liquify its T-Mobile US holdings and deploy the capital elsewhere.

Deutsche Telekom's willingness to sell is not a secret. Whether U.S. regulatory and antitrust authorities would approve such a deal, and with what conditiions, is not clear at all.
