SoftBank Corp. Chief Executive Officer Masayoshi Son will host a presentation March 11 in Washington to discuss “the state of America’s wireless communications industry and the competitive global landscape,” according to an e-mail invitation yesterday.
Son is said to be considering whether to bid for mobile-phone carrier T-Mobile US Inc. after acquiring control of Sprint Corp. last year. By getting bigger in the U.S. market, Sprint could offer “aggressive discounts and services,” Son said last month. “Without industry consolidation, for Sprint alone to become No. 1 in the U.S. is literally just a dream,” he said.
