Reuters: Dish Network is said to be in talks to hire banks that will provide between $10 billion and $15 billion in debt to finance the cash portion of its bid for T-Mobile U.S. The two companies have been in talks over a merger that would be the latest in a wave of tie-ups in the telecom and pay-TV industries. While there is no agreement yet, the move to seek financing shows that Dish believes it is making progress. T-Mobile has a market capitalization of about $31 billion, only $3 billion less than Dish. A deal between the two companies would have a larger share component than a cash component.
