Published in AndroidColosseum - 14-04-2008

After so long, T-Mobile a member of the Open Handset A;alliance has finally seen the opportunity of offering 3G to its subscribers. 3G won't be the only thing though, t-Mobile will be putting WiFi in the mix as well, it will be cheap unlicensed WiFi for all...not quite for this service will not be nationwide! The new service will see WiFi switching seamlessly to 3G whenever you are out of range and vice versa. T-Mobile will be using the $4.2 billion worth of spectrum it bought form the FCC back in 2006 to roll out the new service. T-Mobile is in a bitter sweet position here, WiFi is the fastest wireless technology that is out on the market right now, but getting it nationwide will not be easy plus there are strong competition from Sprint and Verizon with their WiMax and LTE wireless services respectively. Lets just sit back and enjoy competition shall we?[Source: CNet]
