T-Mobile At CES 2014 Live Stream: Three Things You Need To Know About The Uncarrier, Phase 4 News And CEO John Legere
T-Mobile, long considered the underdog mobile network in the U.S., has been making waves in the wireless industry since it unveiled the Uncarrier program early last year. The carrier says it will unveil Uncarrier Phase 4 today at the annual consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, CES 2014.
Update: T-Mobile CEO John Legere said a mouthful at the event, here are his best quotes from CES 2014. Legere confirmed that the carrier would be paying up to $650 per line for customers switching over from competitors like Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint.
Legere also announced that T-Mobile was now the fastest carrier in the U.S., citing data of 4G LTE speed tests done by SpeedTest.net. Click here for an archived video of T-Mobile's press event in Las Vegas for CES 2014.
