2008 Year in Review

2008-calendar-pic

Ah yes, the 2008 year in review T-mobile USA post. It wasn’t to long ago we got a look at fourth quarter 2008 numbers and while it wasn’t the stellar year we all hoped for, it wasn’t a year like Sprint’s either. Highlights of the report include 130 cities covered by 3G, with that number expected to jump to 200 before the end of 2009. A 31% increase in data services revenue from 2007, more than double the messages carried from Q4 2008 from the Q4 2007. Average revenue per user dropped to $50 dollars in Q4 down from $52 dollars in Q3. Well at this point I’m sure some of you have stopped reading as the statistics can be pretty dry but feel free to jump over to BusinessWire and read the rest of the 2008 year in review release.
