Deutsche Telekom AG’s T-Mobile USA unit may be close to a deal to buy wireless spectrum from Clearwire Corp., two people familiar with the talks said.
T-Mobile USA is the only potential bidder and the sale of the spectrum could happen by the end of the first quarter, one of the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the talks are private. T-Mobile USA isn’t in a rush to buy spectrum and can demand a financially advantageous deal, which may happen in the near term, another person said.
