T-Mobile May be Merged Out of Existence Before It Launches
Martin O'Donnell pointed out this article that appeared Saturday in The New York Times that says VoiceStream, aka T-Mobile, may sell itself to Cingular or AT&T Wireless before too long. This is the result of the restructuring of Deutsche Telekom taking place in Germany at this writing.
Among the jucier quotes in this article, a Morningstar analyst said, "VoiceStream is gone.... Without question, you cannot be the sixth player. It's bad enough being third, fourth, or fifth." Also, "Nobody got rid of {ex-Telekom CEO Ronn} Sommer to just leave things the way they were."
