How’s that for a reversal of fortunes?

The potential is certainly there, but I worry about the weak subscriber base that seems to be growing weaker. Initially, Tmobile stands to regain the count back. However, how many will be lost while the company tries to allocate the resulting goal. It will take several years and with the quick paced advances and characteristics of the wireless industry, this could be an eternity.
