Back in May, there was a rumor that T-Mobile would acquire Sprint. With Sprint Nextel (S) sorely in need of a capital injection, one company to watch is South Korean wireless operator SK Telecom (SKM). Fund managers and others who follow the telecom industry say the Korean company, the biggest mobile carrier in the country, is determined to establish itself as a major player in the world's most influential consumer market. Moreover, a technological fit between the two makes Sprint a most coveted takeover target.
