T-Mobile Unveils Its Plans and Will Put Verizon in Trouble in America

The competition for dominance in the fiber optic internet market in the United States is intensifying. T-Mobile has made it clear that it doesn't plan to fall behind. The company, which has already made this segment one of its strategic priorities, has ambitious plans to expand even further.

T-Fiber and Key Acquisitions

After the recent acquisition of Lumos, T-Mobile confirmed that it will officially launch its T-Fiber service before the end of the quarter. This was stated by CEO Michael Sievert during the latest investor call. The service, which had been in a pilot phase for two years, is now preparing for large-scale deployment.

Additionally, the purchase of Metronet is also in its final stages, and, according to Sievert, these won't be the only acquisitions. "We are a growing company," he assured, making it clear that the expansion will continue. The company had already anticipated that between 12 and 15 million households will connect to its fiber network in the United States by 2030.

T-Mobile sees fiber as a booming sector and wants to establish itself as a leader, surpassing even rivals that are also heavily investing, such as AT&T and Verizon.

Fierce Competition in the Fiber Market

AT&T, meanwhile, has already started talks to acquire the fiber assets of Lumen Technologies, in a deal that could reach 5.5 billion dollars. AT&T's goal is clear: to surpass 50 million fiber connections by 2029, compared to the nearly 30 million currently. Verizon isn't falling behind either: the company plans to close the acquisition of Frontier Communications for 20 billion dollars by 2026.

The war for leadership in fiber is more alive than ever, and the moves by these companies prove it. As more households demand higher speeds and stable connections, the deployment of fiber becomes key for operators. In that field, T-Mobile wants to make a difference.

Quarterly Results and Looking to the Future

Regarding financial results, T-Mobile added the most mobile customers in the first quarter: 495,000. AT&T gained 324,000, while Verizon suffered a net loss of 289,000 customers. In revenue, the numbers also reflect growth: T-Mobile reported 16.9 billion dollars in services, a 5% year-over-year increase.

AT&T reached 30.6 billion, with a 2% rise. Verizon reported 33.5 billion, up 1.5% in the same period. The three operators warned of possible impacts in the coming quarters due to the new tariff environment driven by the U.S. administration.

Despite this, T-Mobile keeps its focus on innovation, mergers, and a model that bets on long-term growth.
