T-Mobile US added more subscribers in last quarter than top three competitors combined Shares in US mobile operator T-Mobile rose by more than 7 per cent on news that the firm added 2.4 million customers to its books and increased its revenues by 47 per cent in the last quarter. The news moved its outspoken CEO John Legere to profanity. We have outpaced the competition AGAIN – 12 times over! I shit you not! …
He is speaking very much on behalf of the company and knows it. But, seriously, "shit" is considered a problem?
Maybe the moral minority should organise a boycott and switch to ATT or Verizon. They can press for self-censoring phones that automatically cut out any possibly offensive words!
That's not the worst profanity. Refreshing that someone in such a position has the balls to say it how the everyday man would say it! Kudos to him for his tweet. More importantly this is another reason why a purchase of T-Mobile by Sprint is a bad thing. Sprint is more of the lame horse in the 4 horse race!
Mayhaps thou should hath read the entirety of the article prior to commenting? Then thou would'st have know that:
The flood of new customers into T-Mobile is good news for the company's ambitions, but has come at a heavy price. Its Uncarrier initiatives, including paying off the contract costs of new subscribers, have hit T-Mobile's bottom line and the company lost $151m in the quarter.
(Verily I hath added the emphasis mine self.)
I notice comments from US readers about cost of broadband and spotty cellphone coverage. I guess this is the price you pay for having a large country with lower population density (compared to Europe). That doesn't explain why tiny but population-dense Belgium has terrible and expensive broadband -- what may explain it is the monopoly Belgacom has on telephone system. I suspect the US near-duopoly cellphone situtation may be related.
