T-Mobile is playing catch-up against bigger carriers in introducing 3G services. Its bidding company, T-Mobile License LLC, had the winning bids on 120 licenses and will pay almost $4.2 billion for its spectrum. All told, the licenses it won could reach almost 475 million people, a number greater than the U.S. population. There was a wide variety of licenses up for auction, ranging from local to regional coverage.</i>"<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/augusto-20060919-tmobilelogo.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />It is about time T-Mobile has jumped on the 3G bandwagon! While I love T-Mobiles low cost plans, I have not been real happy with their data service as of late. After spending some time playing around with Sprint, Verizon and Cignular's 3G devices I just can not be content going back to my painfully slow 2.5G service offered by T-Mobile. :(
