T-Mobile has a weird way of staying in the news, whether it be for good or for bad. Two years ago they started the deceitful trend of lying about 4G networks and it kind of has snowballed from there. They were able to make $4 billion off the failed AT&T merger and while they waited for the spectrum transfer to be approved, closed seven call centers. Now, the company looks ahead in order to save itself from potential implosion and has inked a deal with MetroPCS to merge forces.

While the news of T-Mobile purchasing MetroPCS has come as a bit of a shock to some people, it really shouldn't. At first it does seem surprising that a GSM carrier would be interested in a CDMA network, especially considering the absolute disaster that was the Sprint/Nextel merger. This is where the sense starts to be made. T-Mobile said they would use AT&T's money to establish an LTE network, and it looks like they have. This purchase has less to do with customers, though it will combine the 4th and 5th largest carriers in the country into a new but still 4th largest network (42.5 million), and more to do with picking up MetroPCS's existing LTE network.

The announcement of T-Mobile's planned purchase of MetroPCS may have come as a surprise to most of the industry, though it shouldn't have. It has also stirred up some old emotions with an ex-suitor of MetroPCS, Sprint. A few months ago, we found out that Sprint had considered purchasing the carrier.

Despite the company's love for Windows Phone, an open platform and great partnerships with big names, Spotify still manages to get a bad rap. Be it the lack of pay for the artists who deliver the content to the platform or due to the periodic outages, vinyl lovers everywhere are always quick to knock the European-based company more than the rest of the music streaming services. The good news is that the NPD recognizes that people listen to digital music and look at guys like Pandora and Spotify with an unbiased eye. This week, NPD had some good news for the boys in green as far as what Spotify's subscribers end up doing after they listen to a track on the service.
