The deal would put the unit of Time Warner Inc. in a class all its own as the only major cable company to offer cellular service, and would give the two companies stakes in television, high-speed Internet access and wired and wireless phone service, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
Representatives from both companies confirmed that talks are underway but would not say if a deal was imminent, as the newspaper reported.
