T-mobile, apparently hit hard by both economic downturn and some less than impressive Q3 and Q4 numbers is going to do away with the 1 year contract option. Looking to do away with rising churn, T-mobile is going to solely focus on the 2 year contract … [read full article]
So this week marks CTIA, the wireless trade show that previews future happenings of the American wireless industry.
