Moody’s changes DT, VoiceStream outlooks to negative

LONDON—Moody’s investor services changed its outlook for German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom and its guaranteed subsidiary DT Finance B.V., as well as its American subsidiaries VoiceStream Wireless Corp. and Cook Inlet/VoiceStream, from stable to negative and confirmed the current Baa1 long-term ratings.

Moody’s said the outlook change was due to concerns that industry trends, including declining growth rates in fixed-line traffic, are happening faster than previously considered probable.
