It's more likely that if DT sells T-Mobile USA that a foreign carrier will purchase it. Vodafone says they are not interested but they did bid on AT&T, when they were supposedly committed to Verizon, so you can't really rule them out. They don't own enough of Verizon to do what they'd really like to do with them. T-Mobile USA would fill in their global network quite nicely.
With the merger of Cingular and AT&T, Cingular just doesn't need to buy T-Mobile. For the amount of money they would spend to make it happen they just wouldn't get their return back.

It would create a monopoly for GSM services, meaning that would leave the U.S. with only one national GSM carrier. - - - - Yahoo!
