What T-Mobile US does

Second-largest US wireless carrier, known for un-carrier pricing and a fast nationwide 5G network built via the Sprint merger.

Collects monthly service fees from phone and home-internet customers, so revenue recurs; growth comes from adding customers with competitive pricing and from using mid-band spectrum gained in the 2020 Sprint merger. Deutsche Telekom owns a majority.
