jarrod… T-Mobile is absolutely open to a buyer for its U.S. division. DT’s stock has been going up (along with Sprint’s) in anticipation of this. Look it up on the financial wires.

@jarrod: Dude, DT’s market cap is about $75 billion. Google’s is more than twice that. They could easily buy DT, let alone purchase TMO from them.

Google? LOL! All I have to say is when are they getting the curve and what are their rate plans like? Otherwise TMo

Buy t-mobile? come on! T-mobile might be small in the states but they are huge in europe, not to mention they are a subsidery of Deutsche Telekom. MVNO is probably a better option at this point, especially since a lot of the useable frequency bands being taken up by current operators.

Could it be possible that Google wants to use their huge cash stash to get into mobile/ I can’t see them bulding out their own network, but they do have deep pockets.

A safer bet would be to buy tmobile or a smaller carrier and transform it into their own image. It’d be a lot cheaper to buy then to build.
