Bloomberg: Dish's Ergen expressed T-Mobile interest to DT

Dish (DISH +0.9%) CEO Charlie Ergen contacted Deutsche Telekom (OTCQX:DTEGY) to let the carrier know he's interested in a deal to buy T-Mobile USA (TMUS +1.3%), sources tell Bloomberg. T-Mobile spiked shortly before the close on the report.
Ergen hasn't been shy about making his interest in T-Mobile public, as Dish continues looking for ways to put its 4G spectrum to use. Sources caution Dish hasn't yet hired a bank to help pursue a bid, and that its seriousness is unclear.
Bloomberg reported last week DT is open to a T-Mobile deal at $35/share. French carrier Iliad is trying to partner with P-E firms to sweeten its T-Mobile bid, after an initial $33/share offer for a 56.6% stake was rebuffed.
