- Monday, April 15, 11:03 AM MetroPCS (PCS -3.6%) and Leap Wireless (LEAP -2.5%) slump in the wake of Dish Network's $25.5B offer for Sprint. The offer, which comes shortly after Bloomberg reported Dish had proposed a tie-up with T-Mobile USA (DTEGY.PK), removes T-Mobile/MetroPCS as an M&A target (for now, at least), and lowers the odds of an offer for Leap. Should a Dish/Sprint merger happen, it would also potentially create a tougher rival for the low-end carriers, though Sprint/SoftBank would arguably do the same. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
- Friday, April 12, 3:12 PM Dish Network (DISH) CEO Charlie Egren has reportedly approached Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY.PK) about a possible merger with T-Mobile. Deutsche Telekom might have interest, according to the report, once it closes the T-Mobile/MetroPCS (PCS) merger. Egren made his approach prior to April 10 when Deutsche improved its bid for MetroPCS. 6 Comments [M&A]
- Friday, April 12, 2:47 PM Upcoming FCC spectrum auctions should be structured to guarantee smaller nationwide carriers - no doubt T-Mobile (DTEGY.PK) and Sprint (S) - are able to purchase a fair share, so as to "improve the competitive dynamic among nationwide carriers and benefit consumers," the DOJ argues in a public filing. Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) and AT&T (T), who are already complaining the auctions (arriving in 2014 or later) will cap how much spectrum they can acquire, can't be happy to hear that. 2 Comments [Tech]
- Thursday, April 11, 12:52 PM Paulson & Co. says it will support Deutsche Telekom's (DTEGY.PK) revised offer for MetroPCS (PCS -0.1%). Schoenfeld Asset Management, another opponent of the original deal, says it's reviewing the deal terms. Nonetheless, with Paulson's votes added to the existing support of Madison Dearborn (another major MetroPCS investor), the deal's odds are looking good. MetroPCS shares are near breakeven, after trading higher AH yesterday on news of DT's new bid. LEAP -1.6%. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, April 10, 6:08 PM MetroPCS (PCS) +2.5% AH after Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY.PK) submits what it calls its "best and final offer" for merging the prepaid carrier with T-Mobile USA. The new offer reduces the combined company's debt by $3.8B to $11.2B, cuts the interest rate on the debt by 50 bps, and extends the lockup on DT's stake in the company by 6 months to 18 months. The proposed ownership structure remains the same - DT would own 74% of the company, and MetroPCS shareholders 26%. (previous) 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move, M&A, Breaking News]
- Wednesday, April 10, 5:49 PM A new Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY.PK) offer for MetroPCS (PCS) will "impose less debt" on the company following its merger with T-Mobile USA, Bloomberg reports. Lower interest rates are also part of the deal terms, which could be announced tonight. 9.9% MetroPCS owner Paulson & Co. has been quite unhappy about the $15B in debt sporting "above market" interest rates that's attached to DT's current offer. (WSJ report) Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, April 10, 12:52 PM Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY.PK) is "reviewing a sweeter bid" for MetroPCS (PCS +3.8%) and could announce the terms as soon as today, the WSJ reports. Many have been expecting a higher offer to arrive since shareholder advisory firm ISS joined Paulson & Co and disgruntled MetroPCS shareholders in opposing the current deal. Bloomberg notes DT is able to monitor shareholder voting in real-time, giving it a chance to adjust its offer if it looks like the current bid will fail. (previous) Comment! [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 4, 9:31 AM Sources say Deutsche Telekom unit T-Mobile USA (DTEGY.PK) is considering changing the terms of its proposed merger with Metro PCS (PCS +2.1%) ahead of a shareholder vote next week. There has been broad speculation T-Mobile would sweeten the pot. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A, On the Move, Breaking News]
- Thursday, March 28, 11:20 AM Shareholder advisory firm ISS comes out against T-Mobile USA's (DTEGY.PK) merger with Metro PCS (PCS +3.3%), agreeing with those "greedy hedge funds" who argue MetroPCS shareholders deserve better terms. Analysts now expect a sweetened bid, and David Faber reports "there does seem to be a line of thinking at Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY.PK), about whether they should raise their offer." However, he adds "sources close to D-Tel are genuine when telling me Germans are unsure whether to try to save [the MetroPCS] deal." 2 Comments [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 27, 4:45 PM Paulson & Co. isn't happy with T-Mobile USA CEO John Legere's dismissal of MetroPCS (PCS) merger opponents as "greedy hedge funds." "If anyone is being greedy here, it is Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY.PK) by stripping out $15 billion of senior debt at above market rates ... MetroPCS shareholders are left with a subordinated minority stake in an over leveraged equity stub," argues Paulson, which owns 9.9% of MetroPCS. With Madison Dearborn (another huge shareholder) supporting the deal, some think advisory firm ISS could play kingmaker. 4 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, March 26, 11:53 AM T-Mobile USA (DTEGY.PK) will start selling the iPhone 5 (AAPL) on April 12. In tune with the carrier's embrace of subsidy-free plans, the 16GB model will be sold without contract for an up-front cost of $100 and a 2-year, $20/month installment schedule (total cost of $580, a little below the phone's unlocked price of $649). T-Mobile, which is (finally) launching a 4G LTE network in 7 cities, will also sell the BlackBerry Z10 (BBRY) and Samsung's Galaxy S IV. The carrier plans to offer 4G coverage to 100M people by mid-year, and 200M by year's end. (live blog) (PR) 9 Comments [Tech]
- Monday, March 25, 6:09 PM If you're willing to forgo a phone subsidy, T-Mobile USA (DTEGY.PK) is willing to cut your phone bill ... a bit. The share-losing #4 U.S. carrier, which is set to merge with MetroPCS (PCS), has unveiled contract-free plans that range from $50/month (500MB of data) to $70/month (unlimited data). Free laptop/tablet tethering is included with the limited data plans, and installment plans are offered for phone purchases. The announcement comes ahead of a Tuesday event where T-Mobile's pending iPhone launch will reportedly be highlighted. (previous) 5 Comments [Tech]
- Friday, March 22, 12:34 PM FCC chairman Julius Genachowski confirms he's resigning. He'll be leaving the commission "in the coming weeks" after holding its top job for nearly 4 years, and his departure will result in 2 of its 5 seats being unfilled. Of the 3 that remain, 2 are Democrats and 1 is a Republican. Genachowski departs as the FCC continues to draw up plans for 2014 spectrum auctions meant to address soaring mobile data usage. (yesterday) Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, March 19, 6:29 PM Timotheus Hottges, Deutsche Telekom's (DTEGY.PK) CFO and soon-to-be CEO, will be the chairman of T-Mobile USA following its merger with MetroPCS (PCS). Also set to serve on the combined company's 11-person board are T-Mobile USA CEO John Legere and outgoing DT CEO Rene Obermann. (PR) 1 Comment [Tech]
- Tuesday, March 12, 1:49 PM The FCC has approved the MetroPCS/T-Mobile USA merger. The announcement isn't surprising, given the agency wants to see AT&T and Verizon face tougher competition. The biggest challenge for MetroPCS (PCS -0.9%), which has ticked higher on the news, remains overcoming opposition from dissident shareholders led by Paulson & Co. (official ruling) Comment! [Tech, Breaking News, M&A]
- Wednesday, March 6, 11:57 AM With the White House having given its support to legalizing the unlocking of cell phones, Sen. Ron Wyden has introduced a bill that would do just that. Passage of the bill could lead to a bump in churn for U.S. carriers, as consumers are no longer required to buy a new phone (and, should they want a subsidy, agree to a contract) to switch carriers. However, some phones only work on a particular carrier's network due to band compatibility issues, and carriers could start requesting more such devices in an effort to keep customers from leaving. 14 Comments [Tech]
