T-Mobile USA paid $4.2 billion for additional radio spectrum in a recent federal auction, and the cellular company plans to spend billions more to upgrade its network to take advantage of the greater bandwidth. The company says it expects to spend around $2.7 billion on a network upgrade to third-generation, or 3G, cellular technology that can deliver mobile multimedia services, capabilities it lacks but are offered by other carriers.
