T-Mobile USA, the 4th largest cellphone carrier in the United States, isn’t content with being number 4. They plan to become number 3 (overtaking Sprint PCS) with several initiatives, some of which have already started:
- Rapid Expansion of T-Mobile 3G (and since its using AWS instead of PCS, they don’t sacrifice 2G quality to go to 3G.. unlike certain other carriers)
- Upgrade to 21 Mbps HSPA+ with existing 3G rollouts
- Potential new $50 unlimited everything plan (similar in price to MetroPCS, etc.. and dramatically lower than their national competition)
- Significant phone upgrades (which they’ve already started to do — even TMO’s feature phones are pretty “advanced”)
