Deutsche Telekom’s current focus in the U.S. is on expanding its so-called third-generation, high-speed network. The company, Europe’s largest phone company, was slow to start building its third-generation offerings in the U.S. This year, it invested $3.5 billion euros in the network.
“There is no question that we lost customers because many of our customers couldn’t get 3G.,” Hoettges said. “We now have to make sure that we can capitalize on the network in the top-10 cities where we have invested.”
The market for mobile data is booming in the U.S. and “we have to participate in that boom,” Hoettges said. It's looking more and more likely to me that TMO will be making some massive changes for 2010 on. No more sitting idly in the corner stroking themselves!

Maybe T-Mobile will soon be able to advertise having the "fastest 3G network in the country"!

While that is certainly good for t-mo, the bad thing for them is that the top 3 carriers aren't exactly going to go to their respective corners and start standing pat either. |

It sounds like he's saying they're only going to have 3G networks in 10 cities?
That's no way to catch up to Verizon/AT&T/Sprint |

Top 10 probably = NY, LA, Chicago, SF, Miami, somewhere in TX, WDC, etc.

He simply means that they want to turn bigger profits in the biggest cities they've invested in.
as Gbcue said: NY, LA, Dallas, Chicago, SF, Miami, Philly, DC, Atlanta, Phoenix... |
