Here's one question: Should DT decide to sell the U.S. operation again, would a change of ownership - should it actually be sold, be an event that would qualify for a contract cancellation without an early termination fee? Aside from Vodafone (which is already in the U.S. through its 45% ownership of Verizon Wireless), I cannot think of any other wireless company globally that would be large enough to acquire T-Mobile USA as a whole. One benefit to having T-Mobile in the U.S. is that it is a /global brand/, which no other carrier in the U.S. has. ------------------------------------ - - T-Mobile-US on Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/T-Mobile-US _ _ Yahoo!
