Dish Network's talks for T-Mobile stalled: sources

New York

THE slow-moving Dish Network Corp talks to acquire T-Mobile US Inc from Deutsche Telekom AG have stalled over concerns related to valuation and structure, people with knowledge of the matter said.

The lack of momentum calls into question whether any transaction will get done this year or at all, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The two companies will soon turn their attention to a spectrum auction in 2016 in which they'd either be bidding on wireless airwaves as one company or competing.
