So says this story in eWeek… apparently there’s a press conference tomorrow announcing plans in the wake of the company’s win in the recent frequency auction. The announcement will take place jointly with officials from Deutsche Telekom and from its US Subsidiary, T-Mobile USA, taking part.
It will announce its move into 3G communications in the US using UMTS, says the story. But U.S. frequencies are different from those in Europe and elsewhere, and for that reason, T-Mobile’s UMTS solution will work only in the US until new devices with multiple frequency support are developed, despite the fact that UMTS is a global standard.
Marketwatch: Meanwhile, SpectrumCo, a joint venture that includes Comcast Corp., Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, Advance/Newhouse and Sprint Nextel, said Thursday it successfully bid $2.37 billion for 137 wireless spectrum licenses in auction.
