Yes, it's T-Mobile, and they're planning to roll out 3G services, probably using UMTS.

Unstrung got the scoop on it yesterday:

... and I believe they're working on a followup story based on today's formal announcement from T-Mobile.

re: Sprint-Cable Group Weighs Options All of the auction information is available at

http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctio...

If you want to dive into the nitty gritty details, download the final round XML file:

http://auctionresults.fcc.gov/...

Open it in Excel, and you'll find more information than you can process. :D

The "License" tab is probably the most useful page in that file.

Sprint-Nextel must be waiting to see how their current WiMAX plan plays out. If possitive, they will be the lowest cost operator.
