Mar 18, 2015, 1:10 PM: The Q&A session has so far offered a mix of questions from press and from T-Mobile employees.

Mar 18, 2015, 12:24 PM: T-Mobile says it is going after businesses next. (Not sure yet if this is the Uncarrier 9.0 announcement.)

Mar 18, 2015, 12:22 PM: Legere is making fun of recent comments made by AT&T and Verizon. (They did make some dumb comments.)

Mar 18, 2015, 12:08 PM: T-Mobile is actively trying to deafen attendees in this space with rock concert level ridiculousness.

Mar 18, 2015, 11:53 AM: We're in, and it's perhaps the largest space of any Un-Carrier event to date.

Mar 18, 2015, 11:49 AM: T-10 minutes. We're still waiting for the main doors to open.

Mar 18, 2015, 11:33 AM: Again, these empty phone stands are piquing our curiosity. Hmm. Hints point toward something visual... maybe a camera phone like the Galaxy Zoom series?

Mar 18, 2015, 11:28 AM: So what do you think it all means? Sound off in the comments!
