oh, yeah! Good suggestion! (grabs rum and coke) CHEERS! 😉

Sorry but pretty tough to make a profit and go to 3g with those plans even though that would be cool to see!!!

i am not talking about that. perhaps you didnt understand the question. it isnt about rates as much as it is about improving their coverage/network and 3g spectrum and network. if you owned tmobile usa what would you do? basically would you focus more on improving coverage and rate plans then high speed data with 3g?

Well since I DON'T own T-Mobile USA, who cares, right?! 😁

well, you started the thread about "if i owned tmobile" so i am asking you what you would do. if you wont answer it and say "who cares" then whats the point of starting a thread if you dont want to put an effort into answering the question or any one else's questions?

Nextel18, sometimes you have interesting stuff to say, and other times you serve to simply aggravate me. I feel like you've brought up the whole "TMo doesn't know what its doing with data/Why don't they do 3g" thing a few times now. You just did to lefteye. The thing is though, there doing exactly what they should be. Creating enticing rate plans to grow the customer base. Using prepaid promotions to help push revenue. S...

lol.. not sure why you are defensive.. i actually asked him, not you. it was a simple question getting a simple answer. i didnt care if it was the wrong opinion or the right one.. i was making a point that if you think that just by mentioning plans would do a company good that isnt true, so i wanted him to just ellaborate more on his plans that if he did own tmobile usa he could explain it to us and to me. people on here dont like to ellaborate and seems like they dont like to answer the direct questions at hand. (why start a forum if you dont want to answer questions.. )

the thing is.. these are just innoceant questions that people can answer either correctly or incorrectly but they should show some type of error instead of his response....

"lol.. not sure why you are defensive.. "

If I came across as defensive or aggresive I apologize. More in general, its frustration. I agree that too often people don't like to elaborate and leave out (or don't know) key information.

"they have cash? lol... have you checked their debt levels? they have been increasing year over year. DT doesnt really have money and that is what i was saying earlier in the tmobile forum about whether they should do an Ipo and things of that nature"

Yes, DT carries significant debt, but I'm not sure that's a fair evaluation. First, that means nothing to what they'll spend (good or bad) Second, most of their corporate activities in the last 5 years have been centered around reducing it. I couldn't f...

"The US is still a growing market"

this isnt true at all. the US market is starting to be become even more saturated.. obviously not as much saturated as europe but i would take those funds that DT would get from tmobile usa's sale and do something else in china or japan or india or something of that sort....

both tmobile usa and DT dont have a lot of money to spend on new spectrum, upgrade to 3g network, increase their coverage and other things... yes they have been doing pretty well with their sub growth in their core and prepaid, but how long will that last when others will have higher data speeds and better coverage?

let me get you the fitures on the debt levels....

tmobile usa= total long term debt $16.3 billion up from ...

Ohhhhh, I see why you think you're right all the time, you're comparing totally different sets of figures and presuming that no one will notice.

hoep that helps...

good job anyway..

Adn stuff like that last comment is why sometimes I find you insufferable.

*ugh* Maybe I should keep to Slashdot, at least the stupid posts there are funny.

2 differnt figures? of course.. i gave what tmobile usa is, DT and i gave what verizon's consolidated numbers were... i am sure that verizon wireless' debt is close to 20 billion.

anyway...

stuff like my last comment "good job anyway" makes you feel that way about me? lol. thats a shame. i was simply giving you credit for your opinions and your thought out arguement. its pathetic that you feel that way... even if you or someone is wrong, i always will give them credit... perhaps you dont like when someone praises you? well then i guess perhaps every time you have a horrible opinion perhaps i should say that.

That's a good article. There is no way I would pay $3+ to downlaod a song on my phone. I would much rather buy the song from itunes or another online music store, then transfer it to my phone.
For the price you download a handful of songs, you can buy the physical CD, rip the songs, and transfer them to your phone.

I agree. $3 a song isn't gonna happen, not for me. Maybe for a few suckers, but that's probably not enough to keep that particular ball rollin' for long. Sooner or later theyre gonna have to get real.

I use iTunes too and agree that its the way to go. A buck a song is cheap n' legal (I don' feel like rippin' off artists), and the software is real easy to use. Maybe you could charge a lil' extra for downloading from iTunes over a cell network, but triple price? LOL, no.

I'd laugh in the face of any rep who tried to sell me on that.

The point is, I NEED ATTENTION DAMNIT!!!!! 🤣

hahahahah...

aww..
