We’re in to the back-end of the holiday season now, and for many, the big highlight of our festivities. The big day is here, and I wanted to take the time out to wish all of you the best of Christmases. I hope you have a great time eating, drinking exchanging gifts and seeing what awesome tech is lying under the Christmas Tree or stuffed inside a stocking. If … [read full article]
Earlier today, CNN announced that it has named T-Mobile the U.S. tech company of 2014. Citing T-Mobile’s industry shake-up as the reason for winning the award, CNN acknowledges the superb products launched by other tech giants. But despite Apple announcing the iWatch and Apple Pay, Microsoft’s new lease of life under Satya Nadella and Facebook’s WhatsApp purchase, it was T-Mo who came out on top. … [read full article]
Towards the end of last year, we started hearing from our sources that T-Mobile was planning to launch an awesome Uncarrier move at CES. And sure enough, at en event in Las Vegas last January, John Legere and T-Mobile made waves. If it wasn’t the AT&T Macklemore concert that got your attention, T-Mobile offering to pay off your Early Termination Fee to switch … [read full article]
A couple of weeks ago we published a poll to see which of T-Mobile’s 2014 handset lineup had won the most hearts and minds. Being a carrier with strong roots in Android, and a relative newcomer to the iPhone, T-Mo fans were always going to vote more for a Google-powered device. But … [read full article]

In September, T-Mobile had been on something of a roll. It submitted many applications to acquire more low-band spectrum from a number of companies and owners.

Earlier this year, T-Mobile petitioned the FCC to make changes to its data roaming agreement guidelines.

T-Mobile could become one the first carriers to use 5GHz Unlicensed LTE, or to give it its proper name, License Assisted Access LTE or LAA-LTE. It could deploy the network as soon as next year according to a plan unveiled in a report by Kevin Smithen and Will Clayton, Macquarie Research analysts.

T-Mobile’s Data Stash may – in the words of John Legere – be “arguably the biggest thing we’ve ever done since Uncarrier 1“, but other announcements caught my attention more.
