Sprint tactic to make MetroPCS-TMO deal more expensive

This may also just be a Sprint tactic to drive up the cost of the deal for T-Mobile. Showing real interest may cause MetroPCS shareholders to look for a better price from T-Mobile. The more money that is needed to do the merger will be that much less money to actually pull off combining the networks.

Deutsche Telekom is prepared for a potential counterbid from Sprint and would consider better terms if necessary, according to another person familiar with the matter.

Precisely. Of course, Sprint would be happy to give the merged entity a little cash, in exchange for PCS spectrum from MetroPCS where Sprint has less than 40MHz of their own.
