Only T-Mobile Lags In Smartphone Data Growth
Smartphone data usage has grown enormously over the past year for all carriers except one: T-Mobile. According to Validas, a private company which monitors cell phone charges, the difference between T-Mobile and the other major carriers was astonishing.
Verizon Wireless grew 150 percent — largely, it was speculated, because of the addition of the iPhone to their service. AT&T grew 116 percent, and Sprint at 69 percent.
This latest data only reinforces CWA's contention that T-Mobile, despite its millions of customers, is no longer able to compete in the market as a stand-alone company. We support the pending merger with AT&T that will bring needed re-investment in T-Mobile, as well as the proposed build out of 4G LTE service.
