Amazon, Verizon, T-Mobile, Verizon among four telecom firms

Verizon has been working with Dish Network Corp, T-Mobile US Inc, and Verizon Communications to offer wireless plans for $10 a month or lower to Prime members, the report said. The company also held talks with AT&T Inc.

Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile shares fell 4 per cent, to 7 per cent, and Amazon's share was up 2 per cent. Dish was up 17 per cent from its peak at the end of the month. Last week, talks between Amazon & Dish were reported.

The telecom firms mentioned above didn't respond to Reuters requests for comment.

We are always exploring adding even more benefits for Prime members, but don't have plans to add wireless at this time, the Amazon spokeswoman said in a statement.

A reselling deal with Amazon could help telecom companies attract new users and boost revenue. The details of the deals between Amazon and the telecom firms were not immediately known.
