Problem is that Tmo doesn't have the available spectrum bandwidth yet to support 3G signal.
However by the beginning of this upcoming week and the results of the AWS auction come in that will most likely change, as last I checked Tmo was higest bidder for the major regional market licences.
Tmobile wants 3g more then you know, considering Tmo prides itself on having the easiest and largest international roaming, they are going to want their foreign customers to be able to roam 3g in america as well. (If they actually get a frequency in the auction that is compatible with current european equipment is hard to say atm) But none the less, I am expecting Tmo to have 3g deployed 2nd quarter of '07, this is just a hypothesis by a tech and my opinion and views do not represent those of T-Mobile, or Deutch Telekom.
