Deutsche Telekom seems to be more and more interested in mergers. After we’ve heard how its T-Mobile UK division will join forces with Orange UK, we now hear that the German conglomerate has a new target in sight. Sprint Nextel might be the company that Deutsche Telekom will purchase and this isn’t the first time we hear about it. That means Sprint Nextel will merge with T-Mobile USA and AT&T’s comfortable second largest position will be threatened by the new emerging carrier.

Don’t get all too excited just yet folks. Said merger will not be a piece of cake and it will take a while to be accomplished. In the mean time Deutsche Telekom is being advised by Deutsche Bank on the matter and we should see an offer in the following weeks. We’ll be back with more details soon as this is a very important move in the mobile business.

We’ve heard for quite a while now that Deutsche Telekom was interested in getting rid of T-Mobile UK. And now we hear that the German giant has been secretly speaking to the French giant, France Telecom about the possible marriage between T-Mobile UK and Orange UK.

The merger will be completed in the following months and the future T-Mobile/Orange UK carrier will probably become the largest in UK. We’ll tell you more in the near future as the deal is expected to be completed by October. So what do you say folks in Britain? How do you see this potential merger?
