deutsche telekom controls t-mobile.ome bullets on that. >> again, deutsche tell, from what i understand, feels as though the goal posts were moved in terms of things already agreed on, in terms of the divestiture package and the various things going along with it, these sort of -- a limit to some extent in terms of how much the investment could be in this vehicle from an outside party and this capacity agreement in terms of how much they would actually have available to them. doj pushing hard a lot of questions here, we'll see whether they get there this week, last week my checks, they were hoping to, but i got to check again. >> shoot down the google. >> the google -- the new york post, we reported a lot of what i reported last week, added on that dish was talking to google, google tells us these claims are simply false, google is not having any conversations with dish about creating a wireless network. that's a google spokesperson telling that to cnbc so -- but as for the other things i related last week, they're all

will cable come in a lot of negotiation between deutsche telekom and the doj about this idea of, welle're sharing with them would that change if there was a change and control and they got some concessions from the doj but others the doj got but the key question is will dish really be a competitor? he says yes. others wonder whether that will be the case. i also did have an opportunity, deirdre, to ask him specifically about those state cases you raise and what they're going to do about it. an here's what mr. claure had to say about the states attorney generals that are still opposing the deal. >> i'm really hoping this doesn't turn into a political fight. that the state attorney generals are able to get this deal on how good this is going to be for their state and their con fit wents, for the consumers and have a lot of faith on the state attorney generals that once they understand the concept degree and level of competition that will exist in the market they will sit down and reach an agreement with us. >> they are still as you say, they still need to get the approval as well, the p

years it was part of the past which sports yellow alexandra engelhard does brand management for deutsche telekom it was spun off when the state monopoly was privatized in 1906 the telecoms company then switched to magenta. telecom made a point of distinguishing itself from deutsche post and its characteristic yellow. aim to find a color that worked for it in its own right. the company's ads feature lots of magenta the hue is now central to the brand around the world it has registered trademark for the color with respect to certain product groups in many countries if a competitor tries to use magenta till it comes lawyers go after it. that's placed for tide if we have to defend our right to the color if we hear of any firm using it in a product for which we have registered our trademarks we tell it to stop. if it doesn't comply it will be a matter for the courts. and the half of that competitor mobile come for example dared to use the color and lost when telecom sued trademark holders taking fractions seriously. when he. manages to establish an association with a certain color in the mind of the

by the way, nobody even says that's going to happen, but that seems to be a concern of deutsche telekomi hope i've explained it properly >> you have, but what it says to me is cable companies, which i thought were done being able to combine, is this a green light to be able to -- >> well, this is what deutsche telekom seems to believe is a possibility, that you would have interest from the cable company, dish and its wireless, over a short or relatively short period of time. and they want to prevent them from becoming a major competitor right away using their own t-mobile network you can understand that. by the woi, deutsche telekom also dealing with what happened in europe in terms of the wireless business there. the regulators got in, overregulated by far they basically put a cap on -- the wireless rates are so low that nobody can get a return on capital. they're sort of reliving that, even though this is the u.s., it's very different. they seem to be sort of having real issues with it. we'll see where this ends up but next week finally is going to be the decision, i'm told one way or

we will not see executives at deutsche telekom popping champagne.tition. that will come to a head in october when they hear the case of the state attorneys general. what this hurdle next week will give them as a seal of approval from the justice department, which could help them build a case to counter the state attorneys general. francine: if it goes to plan and these lawsuits do not come to anything, they will be able to drink champagne and celebrate november, december? rebecca: you know how these court hearings go. i am not sure how long it will drag on, but they will start in october. francine: does this merger make sense? rebecca: that is a great question. the companies, need to combine their forces to offer the coverage needed to power things like remote surgery and driverless cars. that would be their argument and i think investors buy it. francine: i am looking at telecoms in the media space in europe. what am i looking out for? or trade spat with huawei mergers and consolidations? rebecca: deutsche telekom is the biggest european carrier by

a different dynamic and they will have 100 million customers combined plus or minus however, deutsche telekom owns 80% of t-mus and softbank, mayushi son, he'll have 320 million shares of t-mus and i didn't buy a lot but it's a token, and it's worth 187. mark to market with their alibaba and if you take t-mus at 82, we think it will earn 25 billion of cap "x. i don't know where the think tanks come in. again, i suffer from tunnel vision on things they are suffering from tunnel vision looking in the u.s. and how a fourth player works globally so what do i like today, sony reported sony is selling at $56 1.3 billion shares, and the stock has got no debt and they have a financial subsidiary that they should spin off and sell and they are going to figure out what they are going to re-engineer. their playstation 5 is coming out within some in the next six to 12 months they have got 100 million out in the field. mobility is coming and you see what is going on in e-sports fortnite i think they should ban it. >> what about stocks now like disney what about disney? >> i talked about disney when we bou

deutsche telekom sold off its towers 20 years ago and lease them back. 61,700 hours across 10 nations look at german bund futures this morning, where we are trading after the hectic day yesterday. futures rising a little bit. that means yields will come down if the price rises in the cash trade. italian up bond futures rising a little bit and little change on u.s. bond futures as we get ready for the fed meeting next week. nejra: let's take a look at how all european equity futures looking slightly thoughts, but on the flipside, a little bit of strength coming through on cac 40 futures. the dots is -- dax is subdued. we saw a reversal in the euro and bond market at the press conference. we got the comments through from schulz as well. could we bounceback? falling fors records on the s&p 500 but in terms of the u.s. futures, we are set up more positively on s&p 500 and nasdaq futures. a mixed picture in terms of tech earnings. juliette saly in singapore has a lot more for us. good to see you. a little bit of cautious trade in asia on the final trading day of the week ahead of the u.s.

other guys' networks >> the deal pans out 100% access it might be possible right now with what deutsche telekom they'd be able to do it off that the other thing they need, somebody to help finance it. again, part of the deal cnbc reports that they don't want someone to finance it more than 5% that's going to make it even more difficult. >> you still think it's happening? >> i think it's going to happen. we'll see something go through but will they be able to build out a full network. >> approve a deal at -- >> doj wants 100%. brokers want 12.5% that's going to be negotiated. hoping to get somewhere in the middle. >> the real question, somewhere in between that capacity is that a real fourth carrier? is that a viable option for a consumer there's a fourth -- from a pricing perspective, that there's real competition now >> time will tell. i think if they can get someone to come in and finance it they have a shot. is it going to be as big as the other three? absolutely not we know at&t and verizon are way ahead of this combined company and anything when it comes to mobile and 5g. we'll see. >> do

. >>> t-mobile, deutsche telekom, sprint, dish, they have reached an agreement for a settlement underwhich consent decree will be entered into by t-mobile to allow it to move forward with its acquisition of sprint. others have done that as well. we have been reporting on this for quite some time. the deal itself, well, fairly straightforward, if you want, though certainly a high level of complexity basically involves $5 billion being paid to t-mobile sprint by dish, $1.4 billion for the prepaid wireless business. they'll pay that at close. another $3.6 billion will be paid over time for spectrum. the hope is the expectation is that in entering into this consent decree, which may be shared with us tomorrow, though you do need a court to sign off on it, you will create a fourth competitor in the wireless business dish really has been out there with plenty of spectrum to have been a competitor already as a fifth competitor but now the expectation and hope is that it really will be a robust fourth competitor this is a tough consent decree in speaking to some people who are both familiar with i

deal, to raise plenty of money, it would seem another area of contention i'm told is that deutsche telek telekom a strategic investor at more than 5%. they say, 5% is fine, but you can't bring in somebody, let's say google or amazon, you name it, who would invest 10 o% or more there are issues there is the ability to resolve the issues, it would seem. there does seem to be on the part of the parties involved and the people that i'm speaking with who are familiar with these negotiations, telling me they do believe they're making progress. they are exchanging drafts as you might expect and conceivably by as early as next week, they will actually have a deal underwhich -- >> do you know how you've done if you bought these -- also, all the oligopolies, ball or lindy this is the giveaway that i've not seen since constellation brands. >> what the doj i think would say is if you don't approve this deal, first of all, what happens to sprint? what is sprint >> they need that because of 5g. >> what do they do do you sell sprint spectrum? who does that go to? possibly sell it to verizon or sell it to t-mob
