In the GSM space, Cingular’s early lead in development and deployment of true 3G services, such as its UMTS wireless broadband service.  But T-Mobile has been stuck in the with EDGE 2.5G (or even the slow GPRS in some areas). T-Mobile has, however, recently won a large deal of the wireless spectrum for 3G services here in the United States, it seems to be ready to catchup with the rest.

Source from eWeek have leaked that on Friday, October 6, T-Mobile will be holding a press conference in New York City to announce the launch of its new 3G data network. Not only that, they detail that the network will be incompatible with the European UMTS standard, as the frequencies used are different. Either way, we’re getting or mobile data on.

This, combined with the new rebranding T-Mobile is rolling out, and its new myFaves plans, demonstrates remarkable aggressiveness showing that it obviously wants to shake its 4th-place image quickly.

Stay tuned!
