T-Mobile users who don't mind hanging around for the rest of the year will be rewarded with an iPhone compatible network.
According to a story on Fox News Business they are planning a $4 billion upgrade of their network in 2012.
Here's an excerpt:
Prompted by its 526,000 subscriber loss in the fourth quarter, T-Mobile USA says it will refurbish its wireless data network this year, making it compatible with iPhones sold by carriers such as Verizon and AT&T.
Neville Ray, the company's chief technology officer, said T-
network will use the new "LTE" wireless standard, which gives higher data speeds, and will have it operational next year. This upgrade is possible because of spectrum T-Mobile will receive as a result of a failed merger with AT&T.
AT&T and Verizon Wireless already have LTE networks running, and Sprint has said it plans to go through with the upgrade as well.
T-Mobile is investing $4 billion in the network upgrade, $1.4 billion more than it had planned earlier.
