DT is also spinning off T-Mobile USA into it's own corporate entity (will be separately publicly traded) as soon as the MetroPCS merger is finalized. This is a great year for T-Mobile.
My question is, how soon can we expect to see them start selling the phones/Apple products? You'd think they'd want to do something relatively soon, considering that there are already areas with full 4G LTE coverage -- particularly big metro areas that claim the most customers nominally speaking. The longer they wait, the more potential customers they could lose.
I think late 2013/summer is too far. I predict something much, much sooner.
