T Mobile Us Inc
T-Mobile is a national provider of mobile communications services with a network
covering more than 280 million people throughout the United States. Our objective
is to be the simple choice for a better mobile life across all of our brands,
including T-Mobile, MetroPCS, and GoSmart. Our intent is to bring this proposition
to life across our customer base of retail, wholesale and business (“B2B”)
customers through our owned and operated retail stores, third party distributors,
as well as through our websites (www.T-Mobile.com and www.MetroPCS.com).
We generate revenue by offering affordable postpaid and prepaid wireless voice,
messaging and data services, and wholesale wireless services. We also generate
revenues by offering a wide selection of wireless handsets and accessories,
including smartphones, wireless-enabled computers such as notebooks and tablets,
and data cards, which are manufactured by various suppliers. Our most significant
expenses are related to expanding and providing network services, acquiring
and retaining customers, and compensating employees.
T-Mobile US, Inc. was formed through the business combination between T-Mobile
USA and MetroPCS (“business combination”), which closed on April
30, 2013. Under the terms of the business combination with MetroPCS, Deutsche
Telekom, the parent of T-Mobile USA, received shares of common stock of the
combined company in exchange for its transfer of all of T-Mobile USA’s
common stock. The business combination aimed to provide us with expanded scale,
spectrum, and financial resources to compete aggressively with other, larger
U.S. wireless carriers. The business combination was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition with T-Mobile USA as the accounting acquirer.
We provide wireless voice, text and data services nationwide, with a network
covering all major metropolitan areas and approximately 280 million people in
the United States, excluding roaming coverage.
Upon completion of the migration of the MetroPCS customer base, we expect to
have approximately 55,000 equivalent cell sites, including macro sites and certain
distributed antenna system (“DAS”) network nodes retained from the
MetroPCS network. As part of the business combination, we are in the process
of decommissioning redundant cell sites and the MetroPCS CDMA network, while
also integrating select MetroPCS assets, primarily DAS nodes, in certain metropolitan
areas into the overall network.
