Probe Financial is wasting no time in releasing an analysis of T-Mobile’s $4.2 billion spectrum acquisition that I noted yesterday.

 

According to the e-mail I received from Probe, “T-Mobile USA’s win in the FCC’s just-concluded AWS auction — acquiring $4.2 billion of new spectrum — foreshadows dramatic further initiatives by the number four mobile carrier in the U.S. market.”

 

“T-Mobile has been an also-ran in the U.S. mobile market,” states Al Boschulte, Chairman of Probe Financial Associates, Inc. “No more. Not only is it evolving into a credible player, it will soon have the ability to launch truly disruptive strategies.

 

“I look for T-Mobile to accelerate its network development plans, build on its leadership position in WiFi, and do an end-run around the dominant competitors, Verizon Wireless and Cingular,” Boschulte added. “This could have major impacts not only on WiFi but on the development of UMA (unlicensed mobile access), wireline-to-wireless conversion and the outlook for many other companies, including telcos, cable, Sprint and others.”
