Probably not contracting.... but is tMobile adding new areas to it's network, or
just sort of riding on what it's got now?

Re: tMobile Network: Expanding, Contracting, or Static?
I thought T-Mobile operated exclusively on the 1900Mhz Band.

Per Cyrus Afzali:

Any idea how much area a single cell tower covers?
One of the things I've been wondering about is why they don't do building
complexes.
I'm a contractor and have done work for a couple of clients where there are
thousands of people in just a few buildings (2,000 where I'm working now, close
to 8,000 on the last job) and some providers' phones work a-ok while others are
all but useless - the result being that people are talking about how poor the
faulty provider's coverage is in an enviroment where word travels...
"Negative Buzz", if you will...
Seems like a rational move would be to concentrate on situations like that -
unless a single cell tower costs mils instead of thousands and covers square
miles instead of meters....
