Deutsche Telekom is reported to be considering a bid for Sprint Nextel, one of its key competitors in the USA.



Both Sprint and Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile have been struggling against larger rivals AT&T and Verizon Wireless, with 18% and 12% market share, respectively.



This news follows confirmation last week that Deutsche will merge its troubled UK mobile operations with France Telecom's Orange in an effort to improve profitability.
