It's a screenshot of their latest TV ad. It's a metaphor for data output.

I sure hope so. But it may be the case that the other carriers don't have an incentive (loosing customers to T-Mobile) to change, in that case T-Mobile will be the only one doing this type of thing. I would like to see the subsidy model go away.

AT&T lost customers last quarter. I hear they are now planning to launch new prepaid plans in June that are actually good. So it looks like the effects of Tmobile are already being seen.
The other carriers probably won't make any moves on the subsidy front until they see tmobiles Q2 and Q3 numbers so that they can gauge whether or not consumers are receptive to them.

This is great news for T-Mobile, and I'm happy to read about it. We need them as a competitor amongst the carriers.
I would like to see a mass exodus of customers from AT&T and Verizon to T-Mobile. If only T-Mobile would expand their suburban coverage, I would be on board in a minute.
I've had service on T-Mobile with an iPhone for about a year now. I love T-Mobile, mainly because of the $30 plan. But I do lose service more than I would like too. I only put up with it because of the low monthly cost.
P.S. I'm in a major city as well, not the sticks.

What is your $30 plan? The first option I'm seeing on T-Mobile's site is $50 per month with unlimited talk + 500MB data, then $60 for 2GB data and $70 for unlimited data.
Don't be dumb, Apple can't call the next model the iPhone 500000S, because it will only be the 7th iPhone. I can't believe you people!

at least one person got it
I was quite happy the government jumped in and did its job once. Allowing AT&T to buy T-Mobile would have created a defacto monopoly on the GSM network. People with GSM based iPhones would have been stuck on AT&T.
The 4 billion dollar payout was T-Mobile's condition to allow AT&T to pursue a controversial buy out that would and did cause it damage when it was pending.
Finally what some people who hold your view neglect is that cell phone companies do not own the frequencies they use. They lease these public airwaves from the government on non-transferable terms. So the government has to approve the frequencies to be changed from one company to another. In this case, the government selected to not approve the transfer from T-Mobile to AT&T.
My ex-girlfriend lives in Ann Arbor (as do I). She gets about 18 to 22 mb per second downloads. On 3G (I am using an iPhone 4), I get about 5 to 6 mb's per second.
I switched last month from Verizon and i couldn't be happier. Great coverage mostly and data speeds are great too.
