As rumors fly that Sprint is planning an acquisition bid for T-Mobile – a move that would reduce the number of wireless competitors from four to three – the latest reports say that Dish Network may consider its own buyout bid for the wireless firm.

Dish, T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom did not comment on the matter, reports say.
