Feeling the need to boost its high-speed LTE network that falls behind Verizon and AT&T, Sprint is reportedly in talks with one of Japan's largest wireless carriers of a possible takeover.

The announcement comes after reports that T-Mobile, owned by Germany-based Deutsche Telekom, would merge with regional carrier MetroPCS, which Sprint tried to take over earlier this year.
