The owner of T-Mobile USA, the fourth-largest U.S. wireless
provider, is exploring an initial public offering or spin
off of the business, according to people familiar with the
matter, as it seeks ways to jump-start the carrier and
assuage disenchanted shareholders.
T-Mobile's parent, German giant Deutsche Telekom AG, has recently
held discussions with a number of banks, including Deutsche Bank AG,
about underwriting an IPO for the unit, according to people
familiar with the matter.

For what it is worth DT is also currently attempting to merge
T-Mobile UK with Orange, I think with Orange's management in
control. It seems like DT is starting to move themselves out
of the business.

Which also might mean that they no longer want to make major investments
in their network upgrade.

The issue for some time has been inability, not lack of desire.
