I thought it worth mentioning the absolutely staggering amount of money T-Mobile will be spending to upgrade their 2G and 3G networks. A total of $10.3 billion will be spent between now and 2009 in fact. This could be an absolute windfall for telecom equipment providers and I am sure Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and others are all over T-Mobile, looking for a piece of these contracts.

See this TMCnet story for details.
