"We requested Sprint's opinion on several cooperation measures including technology, networks and stake investment," an SK telecom spokesman said.

"We have not received any official response from Sprint."

Sprint rejected a $5 billion investment by a group including SK, former chairman Tim Donahue and Providence Equity Partners, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday. [ID:nN29246589]
