Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom Ink Major Partnership

Apr 18, 2011, 7:46 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Deutsche Telekom, parent company of T-Mobile USA, and France Telecom-Orange have formed a joint venture with the goal of saving money on networking equipment and other costs. The entity, which will be owned 50/50 by the two companies, will used its combined buying power to negotiate better deals for customer equipment, network equipment, service platforms and IT-infrastructure. The entity will be headquartered in Bonn, Germany, and Paris, France. The two network operators believe that the joint venture will lead to savings between 400 and 900 million Euros within three years of launch. They hope to get the operation running by the fourth quarter of this year. There's no indication that this new partnership will impact AT&T's planned purchase of T-Mobile USA.
