The head of T-Mobile’s controlling shareholder is not very interested in merging with Charlie Ergen’s Dish Network, The Post has learned.

Instead, Timotheus Höttges, the chief executive of Deutsche Telekom, said he would like to see the No. 4 US wireless carrier combine spectrum with Sprint.

That combination would create huge value, Höttges told investors at an RBC Capital Markets road show in Toronto last week.

Adding Dish makes sense — but in the future, the CEO said during the long-scheduled road show, according to someone who was at the meeting.

Dish Network and T-Mobile US last week were reported to be in talks over a merger.

The reports sent T-Mobile shares up 5 percent over two days, to $40.24.

Since, T-Mobile shares have eased a bit, closing Monday down 1.9 percent, to $39.49.

Deutsche Telekom does not control T-Mobile’s board, but it owns 66 percent of its shares.

While Höttges said he would keep all options open regarding T-Mobile, he stressed the value of perhaps teaming with Sprint when the FCC in early 2016 starts auctioning broadcast spectrum, the person said.

The CEO said his Sprint strategy was tied to the belief that Comcast might buy or partner with a larger T-Mobile, two sources said.

Meanwhile, Höttges said T-Mobile, if it merged with Dish, might then be of little interest to Comcast, since combining Comcast with Dish’s satellite business would raise regulatory concerns, the first source said.

“If you buy Dish, you kill the prospect of selling to Comcast,” the source said, paraphrasing Höttges.

Dish’s assets are split between its unused spectrum that T-Mobile could put to use, and its satellite business.

Last year, Deutsche Telekom tried to sell T-Mobile to Sprint but the No. 3 US carrier dropped its bid amid regulatory resistance.

French operator Iliad also abandoned its attempt to buy T-Mobile US last October.

Also, Höttges said T-Mobile was adding $1 billion in Ebitda annually, so it was worth a significant premium in a merger.

A Deutsche Telekom spokesman said the quotes and paraphrases in this story are false.

He declined to say how they were false.
