we used to make fun of AT&T / Verizon, now we are fooled by our leadership, so we are the worse in the industry to help T-Mobile grow. now we are fighting back now. let's see how many bodies of leadership will be on the street in the next few years.

Very smart post below.
T-Mobile just took over the #1 position in subscriber numbers and crushing it in customer acquisition, speeds, coverage, and 5G home Internet. However it sucks for the workers, upper management isn't going anywhere. Because it was smaller than the former Big 2 for a long time with less resources, tmus was leaner and meaner than vz and t sitting on fat profits. Now it's a saturated market and other than growing kids it's a zero sum game. Home wireless is the big retail opportunity now and it's off to a running start. It's also way cheaper to build out and provision and upgrade than landline Internet which is there for the taking so it's another big win. The legwork for locating towers is basically done. The coverage is there. The spectrum purchases are done. The need for retail footprints is vastly reduced with best buy and Walmart kiosks perfectly acceptable alternatives.
It's a matter of slowly upgrading the network infrastructure which no longer has the urgency it once did. A company that matures into oligopoly essential services from a growth story has very different priorities and is far less capital intensive. Given the capital, costs, unavailable spectrum, and performance involved, it seems unlikely that a paradigm shifting alternative to radio wireless will happen anytime soon. That's the evolution of an industry.
Used to be T-Mobile and then d-mb and d-mber. Now it is d-mb, d-mber and d-mbest. You all figure out where T-Mobile stands on that list. Fee’s for everything, doing nothing different than the other carriers.
agreed, we will ki-l them
Stupid post. Go back to high school and finish.
