Chief Executive Officer of Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S) Dan Hesse talks to line up with Softbank Corp, Japan’s third- biggest wireless carrier, have the potential to redesign the United States wireless landscape, forming a more viable rival to Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) and sparking a latest round of consolidation.
Two persons with knowledge about the issue reported that Sprint’s talks involve Softbank taking a stake of around 75% and offering capital for investments. The Nikkei newspaper reported that Softbank may pay 1.5 trillion yen or $19 billion but the newspaper did not mention the source.
