T-Mobile’s LTE footprint passes 230 million points of presence

T-Mobile-Logo

T-Mobile held its un-carrier 5.0 (and 6.0) event a couple of weeks ago, and the company’s press release to go along with the event had T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray promising that the company would have an “LTE footprint north of 230 million pops by the end of [the] month.”

It appears that, just in time, the company has hit this goal. And in sarcastic and hilarious fashion, John Legere has taken to Twitter to confirm:

Along with its growing LTE network, the un-carrier 5.0 event brought a slew of other announcements including an iPhone 5s test drive program, free streaming for iTunes Radio and other music services, and the company’s own music streaming service dubbed “unRadio.”

    “Neville confirmed we hit 230M POPs of LTE! Met our goal but still going! Where you at @Sprint? I hear you’re running behind. #sprintlikehell”

    Funny he says that because Sprint (via SoftBank) may literally own him one day :P

      Lets hope not.. means price hikes, return to contracts, and data caps most likely.. SoftBank couldn’t do that to Sprint since they were already loosing customers.. but once they get T-mo out of the way, SoftBanks history is exactly that.. They did it in other countries/markets..
