T-Mobile 3G network slated to go live on December 6?
Well what do we have here? Is T-Mobile is planning to take their anticipated 3G network online by December 6 2007? According to reports from The Inquirer, it seems T-Mobile may just be working on launching (or announcing their launch-plans) their long-awaited high-speed wireless network in just a few weeks time. There’s some conflicting information (we thought T-Mobile was set to launch their 3G network on the 1700Mhz frequency band ) and a good dose of wacky Brit-English in that INQ article, but the juicy bits are all we care about. A T-Mobile rep is apparently the source of this rumor - referencing an internal document indicating that T-Mobile would be announcing 3G network availability in the Washington State area “o n or before 6 December 2007.” If that’s the case, we can only assume that the government agencies occupying T-Mobile’s 3G spectrum has finally seen fit to pack up their things and turn over the frequencies to their new owner. Of course, we’re assuming T-Mobile had a lot to do with pushing helping said government agencies off of the 1700Mhz spectrum that is now under T-Mobile’s control - we just can’t believe that any bureaucracy was able to get their asses in gear and actually accomplish anything before its deadline (which is set for next decade, by the way). We’ll just have to wait and see what happens on, or around, December 6. It’s excitign to think that T-Mobile is finally taking the plunge into the world of 3G.
