Why Iliad Abandoned Its Bid for T-Mobile

Iliad, a small French company, made two unsuccessful offers to acquire a stake in T-Mobile from Deutsche Telecom. The first offer in July was $33 per share, surprising many due to Iliad's size and lack of US presence. After T-Mobile's merger talks with Sprint failed, Iliad made a second offer of $36 per share, proposing $2 billion in cost savings. However, Deutsche Telecom rejected this offer as well. Now, Dish Network, a US satellite provider, is seen as a potential bidder for T-Mobile, possibly aligning better with US antitrust regulations.
