What that actually says is:

The newspaper said Verizon Communications officials have been meeting
to discuss a possible takeover of Sprint in recent days and have
studied such a deal for 18 months. But it said it REMAINS UNCLEAR
WHETHER VERIZON WILL MAKE SUCH A BID. [emphasis added]

"Verizon Unlikely to Bid Now for Sprint"
<http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...toryID=7094161>

Verizon Communications Inc. has no imminent plans to bid for Sprint
Corp., people familiar with the situation said on Tuesday, toppling a
potential obstacle to Sprint's $37.8 billion bid for Nextel
Communications Inc.

Separately, Britain's Vodafone Group Plc denied it was in talks with
Verizon, its wireless joint venture partner, about any offer for
Sprint.
