Parent Company Says T-Mobile USA Will Come Back This Year

摘要

T-Mobile USA's business is expected to turn around this year, CEO Rene Obermann of parent nDeutsche Telekom said on the company’s investor day. The carrier's 54 MHz of spectrum in ncore markets is enough for now, but more spectrum will be needed for growth, he nsaid. Obermann expects T-Mobile to produce $3 billion revenue by 2014 and to reduce its nchurn to about 2 percent this year and less than 1.8 percent by 2012. 2011 is “an inflection npoint where T-Mobile will grow again,” said T-Mobile USA CEO Philipp Humm, who took over nlast year. The company is exploring ways to acquire spectrum and reduce its disadvantage to nlarger competitors in economies of scale, including through partnerships, Obermann said.
