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.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=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.

Furthermore, according to

would face serious government opposition.
