Dish Network Corp. Chairman Charlie Ergen, who made a failed attempt to acquire Sprint Corp. earlier this year, said buying Sprint’s smaller rival T-Mobile US Inc. is still “on the table.”
Dish also could forge a partnership with a wireless carrier, Ergen said today on a conference call. Dish needs a physical network to use its stockpile of airwaves to transmit mobile video services throughout the U.S. -- a strategy the company is intent on pursuing, he said.
