Deutsche Telekom CEO Says T-Mobile USA Merger Is Option

Deutsche Telekom AG Chief Executive Officer Rene Obermann said a merger of the T-Mobile USA division is an option, while ruling out revisiting a complete sale after its fallout with AT&T Inc. last year.

“We do not exclude any option for the T-Mobile unit in the U.S., also not a merger,” Obermann told shareholers today at an annual meeting in Cologne, Germany. “A complete sale is unlikely. You understand that I can’t say more in public on T-Mobile USA.”
