The Electronic Data Systems Corp unit of General Motors Corp said an alignment with a telecommunications company still makes sense, even after the planned merger with Sprint Corp collapsed earlier this month over negotiations on price: it said an alignment could be a joint venture or a merger; the two firms still have relationships on various working projects, and Sprint just signed a $27m consulting agreement with Electronic Data: but forming any kind of alliance with Sprint is a lot less likely than it was before the talks broke down, it said.
