What I'm curious about (unconfirmed by ST) is the existence of roaming agreements with other GSM carriers across the country to fill gaps, but I understand the system will not offer a signal provided the phone can detect even an unusable signal from TMO.
notice the use of the word MIGHT. TMO is going to try and take marketshare from other carriers, and I think they are going to begin to really push their BYOD strategy either at the TMO or the PAYGO or the MVNO path. With their clear investment now in LTE which will work with current and previous gen iphones, they MIGHT just be making a play for the city dweller and corridor commuter to offer service, but at a lower price point than traditional carriers.
time will tell
