T-Mobile Continues its Rapid LTE Rollout with $308 Million Deal with US Cellular

2013 Consumer Electronics Show Highlights Newest Technology


T-Mobile was the last carrier to start rolling out LTE. But that doesn’t mean they’ll be last to cover their 3G footprint. T-Mobile is planning to have 200 million people covered by the end of the year. That’s a good chunk of the US. They’ve already launched LTE in a handful of markets and about 20 more coming between now and July. So T-Mobile is making some waves with LTE, even faster than Sprint who had almost a year jump on T-Mobile.


On Friday, T-Mobile released a statement that they are purchasing about 10MHz of AWS spectrum from regional carrier US Cellular. US Cellular will be getting about $308 million out of the deal. Of course, it’s still pending FCC approval, as normal. But that 10MHz of spectrum will be T-Mobile soon enough. This is especially good for T-Mobile customers, especially in the Southeast.


According to the press release, the spectrum will cover about 32 million people in cities including Memphis, Little Rock, New Orleans and St. Louis. Good job T-Mobile. Many people have criticized T-Mobile for their network coverage. So I’m hoping that with their new LTE network they can provide better coverage which will gain them even more customers. With their current price plans, it’s almost a no brainer, until you see that you have no coverage at home from T-Mobile. That’s arguably their biggest problem.


You can check out the press release for more information. but this is definitely good news for T-Mobile and their customers, especially those in Southeast US. Let’s see how fast T-Mobile can roll out their LTE network. Verizon is just about done with there’s. They have just a few more markets left to get to 100% of their 3G footprint. How many of you are on T-Mobile? How are you liking their service?

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
