If you thought that the idea of Yahoo! and Microsoft merging didn’t make any sense, then this one will really make your head spin…

Der Spiegel reported this past weekend that Deutsche Telekom is looking at purchasing Sprint.

The same Sprint that just had a 30 Billion Dollar write-off after their purchase of Nextel didn’t go exactly as planned…

I’m sure it’s not impossible that these two giants will merge, but the technical nightmare that would result from trying to piece together their networks would make it very difficult to become a success. T-mobile is a GSM network, Sprint is CDMA and their Nextel division is I-Den.
