Iliad SA, a French Telecom company made an offer of $15 billion to acquire the Bellevue-based company: T-Mobile
With this surprise bid, Iliad puts pressure on Sprint, the company initially interested into merging with T-Mobile. 

Xavier Niel, Iliad's CEO, found T-mobile to be similar to Iliad in their disruptive approach in their respective mobile-telephone markets. T-mobile and Iliad are both known to offer cutthroat prices and no-binding phone plans to the users.

T-mobile has not commented on  the offer yet.
