Deutsche Telekom mulls T-Mobile USA IPO: sources

FRANKFURT/LONDON (Reuters) – Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE) is mulling options for its undersized T-Mobile USA unit including an initial public offering (IPO) or spinoff, sources familiar with the company’s thinking said on Friday.
The sources said Deutsche Telekom had held initial talks with banks but no formal process was underway and an IPO was only one of several options, after the Wall Street Journal reported that Deutsche Telekom was preparing an IPO or spinoff.
Other possibilities include a sale, an organic expansion or a partnership with another operator.
