Verizon Communications Inc: A decisive factor is how the partners would use the spectrum Dish has been buying up over the years, according to Euro News. T-Mobile would leapfrog its biggest rivals Verizon Communications Inc and AT&T Inc to have the second largest stash of airwaves behind the No. 3 provider Sprint Corp , which has struggled to build out networks, said Recon Analytics analyst Roger Entner, who saw irony in the merger talks. Now Legere is in talks to merge T-Mobile US Inc
and Dish Network Corp , said a source familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss the confidential negotiations. Everybody is an opponent until you’re bedmates, said Entner. Dish and T-Mobile have in the past entertained a potential deal, which would be the latest in a wave of tie-ups in the telecom and pay-TV industries as companies look to offer more services for customers.
