US cable company Comcast Corp is not interested in buying wireless carrier T-Mobile US,Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
Manager Magazin of Germany, citing sources, had said earlier that the largest U.S. cable operator was in talks with T-Mobile US parent Deutsche Telekom AG about buying the No. 4 U.S. wireless provider.
