Dish Network, the second largest U.S. satellite-TV provider, may partner with T-Mobile USA if AT&T’s takeover bid fails, Chief Executive Officer Joseph Clayton said.

Dish, which acquired wireless spectrum earlier this year as part of deals for bankrupt DBSD North America and Terrestar Networks, could merge the spectrum assets with T-Mobile to create a strengthened competitor to AT&T and Verizon Wireless, said Clayton. T-Mobile needs additional spectrum to offer higher-speed wireless service for smartphones such as Apple’s iPhone.
