MetroPCS Coming To New England?!?!?!?
From an article in September 2006 in the Dallas Business Journal:
According to data from the Federal Communications Commission, which held the auction that ended last week, MetroPCS acquired eight licenses covering geographic areas with a total population of more than 144 million people.
The three largest areas cover roughly the Northeast and New England area (on a bid of $552.7 million); the West Coast, stretching into parts of the Rocky Mountains, the Southwest desert and past Idaho (a $355.7 million bid); and New York City, along with Long Island and parts of New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Vermont ($364 million).
It looks to me like they are getting ready to join the wireless market in New England and begin building out their network.
From the job descriptions, it looks like they will be running Lucent Base stations utilizing CDMA, and a 5ESS Lucent Switch for their network!
I'll keep you posted! If you have any info or something to add, please email me at peter at cellulartower dot com.
