AT&T and Deutsche Telekom may form a partnership to share wireless resources if federal regulators reject AT&T's $39 billion bid to buy T-Mobile USA, The Wall Street Journal reported today.
The Journal cited unnamed sources who said that the companies are discussing a joint venture that would pool resources from AT&T and T-Mobile, which Deutsche Telekom owns. The exact nature of the arrangement is not known, but both AT&T and Deutsche Telekom could use T-Mobile's wireless spectrum, the newspaper said (subscription required).

In a critical blow to AT&T's proposed $39 billion merger with T-Mobile USA, federal regulators issued a staff report today that concluded the deal would lead to huge job losses and less competition.
In the 109-page report (PDF), the FCC said that a merger of the two wireless carriers "would substantially lessen competition and its accompanying innovation, investment, and consumer price and service benefits."
The report, which the FCC released this evening despite AT&T and T-Mobile's objections, also accused the carriers of making misleading statements about the benefits of the merger.

AT&T's chances of completing its $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA are quickly fading as regulatory opposition to the deal mounts and the wireless giant's efforts to keep the deal on track smell of desperation.
The merger, announced in March, has been in trouble since this summer when the U.S. Department of Justice sued AT&T to block the deal. But things got uglier last week when the Federal Communications Commission said it would try to block the deal. Even though AT&T has vowed to fight on, it looks like the company … Read more
AT&T is apparently readying a Hail Mary pass to save its foundering $39 billion bid for T-Mobile. Trouble is, there's every reason to think it won't be enough.
According to Bloomberg, the telecom giant is preparing to offer a deal to the Department of Justice under which AT&T would divest as much as 40 percent of T-Mobile's assets as part of the acquisition. It's not at all clear which parts of T-Mobile AT&T might consider shedding as part of this plan.
The Justice Department filed suit to block the deal … Read more

AT&T's chances of closing its $39 billion deal to buy T-Mobile USA are looking pretty slim as the FCC chairman officially expresses opposition to the deal. But how long will AT&T fight to keep the merger alive?
On Tuesday, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski began circulating a draft order recommending to the other four FCC commissioners that the agency refer the case to an administrative law judge.
While details of the chairman's report assessing the merger have not been made public, officials told reporters on a conference call that in 99 out the … Read more
