MetroPCS Targets 2010 for LTE Build Out
Interesting

So Metro PCS who doesn't build their own network is going to build their own network?
What do you mean that they don't build out their own network? They're not an MVNO. They have their own network, since they have AWS & PCS licenses, plus a 700 band license for the Boston market. So they do in fact build out their own network, and not buy airtime from one of the 4 big name carriers. MetroPCS just launched service in New York City, while Cricket (Denali) has service in Chicago.

yea, and I tried their network here in NYC and they're crap so I stayed with boost instead. I don't see MetroPCS doing any good in NY.
It'll be anyone's guess as to when Cricket will launch LTE. Cricket (actually Denali Spectrum, Cricket affiliate) just launched service in Chicago, and I'm waiting to find out how their network is. While I'm not looking to leave Verizon Wireless, I'm just looking at Cricket for wireless internet, as it's cheaper. I just won't rush into getting it until I know how reliable they are. I however expect Cricket to have network issues, as they only hold 10mhz AWS for Chicago, as it's just a regional license.
