#2T-Mobile's free 200MB/month for tablets is great, especially for text and email on the go.
Side note: nytimes's website on mobile is totally annoying. No pinchzoom and double tap mucks with the font size. Just as we had Flash blockers back in the day, I look forward JavaScript blockers.

just so you cant zoom in the text and not view the ads. IAB pricing model is going over (the technically fallible and worthless) viewable ad instead of ad impression.
just another way third parties found to take the advertiser money and not pass it down to the publishers.

#4The firm’s real innovation began last March, though, when it announced its Simple Choice plan
This is how the rest of the world already works.
I buy an iPhone direct from Apple and then pay ~15USD per month on service with no contract.

I personally have nothing but respect for T-Mobile. It is hard to change fundamental things such as pricing when you are such a large corporation. Doubly hard if your competitors have successfully proven contract pricing works.
I hope T-Mobile continues to innovate. The telecom industry is overall a dinosaur. What keeps them alive is their infrastructure and rights of way. If we ever get a wireless alternative that is as fast as fiber (and easily deployable) we'd see the end of traditional telecoms as we know it.

#6T-Mobile is great as a company for customer service. There network isn't as good as AT&T's, but it seems to be getting better. I don't often pick up my phone in my house and see zero bars on it any more, but I still do occasionally.

#7I really love T-Mobile, but its also a validation of all the ideas that traditional telecom regulation rejects. T-Mobile has focused its capital on urban areas and wealthier areas. My LTE download speeds in downtown Phila or DC are great. Service in the poor part of Wilmington where I live? I'm lucky to get 1-2 megabit on HSPA. People are rightfully excited about T-Mobile, but let's not forget that its success to date validates the method of ignoring rural and poorer areas to maximize service in Tue areas that are both dense enough to build out in a capital efficient way and wealthy enough to afford high speed service to justify the investment.

I don't think the author specifically wants to see T-Mobile die trying as much as he enjoys the benefits of T-Mobile's aggression on the entire industry, even if T-Mobile itself is not financially strong enough to survive its attack.

Like every Google Fiber set top box being a wireless access point accessible to other Google Fiber customers, as well as free to Android users? And Google using their fiber right of ways to deploy 802.11ac or picocells?
Only in my dreams sir.

#10I decided to go with T-Mobile on my iPad Air - after 3 months I'm sold and will be switching my mobile as soon as possible. Apparently, T-Mobile will pay early termination fees for not only family plans, but also business accounts registered with a Tax ID.
