Deutsche Telekom AG is said to be evaluating its options for selling or otherwise monetizing its stake in the Everything Everywhere joint venture in the United Kingdom, an apparent direct result of the failure of the AT&T deal to buy T-Mobile USA.
Deutsche Telekom had been counting on proceeds from that sale to support investment in fourth generation networks in Germany and elsewhere.
Deutsche Telekom and AT&T Inc. in December 2011 called off a $39 billion deal that would have allowed Deutsche Telekom to cut its debt by 13 billion euros and repurchase five billion euros of its own shares.
The problem now is that Deutsche Telekom still needs cash to accomplish those goals.
