Sprint CEO suggests AT&T can't buy T-Mobile, only Sprint can buy T-Mobile

Rumors of a potential marriage between Sprint and T-Mobile made the rounds several months ago, but they were obviously squashed when AT&T announced its plans for an acquisition. While Sprint and T-Mobile use different technologies for their cellular networks, Sprint’s “Network Vision” efforts allow the carrier to easily make use of multiple network technologies including WiMAX, LTE and even T-Mobile’s HSPA. BGR took an in-depth look at Sprint’s Network Vision gear this past summer.

Hesse made it clear that he was speaking hypothetically on Wednesday, however it was also quite clear that the executive has given the matter much thought. A merger of Sprint and T-Mobile would create a true competitor to Verizon Wireless and AT&T according to Hesse. If Sprint, the Justice Department and other opponents end up successfully blocking the proposed AT&T deal, don’t be surprised if Hesse is caught flying out to Bellevue for some closed-door meetings shortly thereafter.
