We don’t know when exactly, but expect the … [read full article]

Interestingly enough as you read through this, T-mobile doesn’t give any hints as to how many cities or how broad the rollout will be by years end. All that we get is “By year’s end, T-Mobile expects its high-speed data network will be available in those … [read full article]
