Deutsche Telekom is weighing a full combination with T-Mobile US that could become the largest-ever publicly traded corporate merger.

•⁠ ⁠Deutsche Telekom already owns roughly 53% of T-Mobile. A new holding company could bid for both firms, with the combined group potentially seeking listings in the U.S. and a major European exchange.

•⁠ ⁠Talks are still preliminary, details could change, and any transaction would require political support in both Berlin and Washington.

•⁠ ⁠Combining the companies could create the world’s biggest wireless operator by market capitalization.
