DISH Network’s (Nasdaq: DISH) chief executive officer Joseph Clayton said Monday the company may be looking to partner with T-Mobile USA if the current merger deal with AT&T (NYSE: T) falls through.

Clayton also said DISH may look to partner with Sprint (NYSE: S) or Clearwire Corp (Nasdaq: CLWR) depending on the possible terms and an approved deal from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.

In the past, DISH publicly announced management is against the AT&T and T-Mobile merger, but noted the company would be interested in acquiring assets from the two if they do merge and are forced to divest some customers and spectrum.

Earlier Monday, Clayton reported plans to develop an online TV service in an effort to expand its competition with cable companies. Shares of DISH closed the session down 0.58 percent.
