So T-Mobile, recently left at the alter by AT&T, is now looking for $9B to build out a LTE network that can compete with AT&T.
T-Mobile has a great start towards its goal when you consider that AT&T gave it $4B as a parting gift. If you have some loose change or small bills, please drop it in Carly’s cup. Heck, all she needs is another $5B. Easy!
$9B’s a lot of investment money simply to split the market even more than it is, today. It’s also interesting that T-Mobile seems determined to join the rest of the world by going to 4G via LTE rather than via its current industry-isolating path of HPSA+ (also known as “it’s 4G if we say it’s 4G”).
I continue to believe that T-Mobile will either join forces with Sprint (can you say “SprinT-Mobile”?) or T-Mobile will acquire one or several smaller regional carriers. How about “Hello…Hello…Hello” for example. A dark horse: Maybe Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile’s German parent will sell off its entire worldwide wireless network to some small country…or maybe to Microsoft.
Only time…and money…will tell.
