The first “Un-carrier Move” of the “New T-Mobile” era was all about making good on a promise from before Magenta’s combination with Sprint was completed last month. But T-Mo actually had more to announce yesterday than the official launch of its Connecting Heroes program making all wireless service, nationwide 5G access included, absolutely free for state and local first responders.
We’re talking about San Francisco and Sacramento, where T-Mobile’s somewhat controversial 5G service is live right now, as well as Tampa and Orlando, where the next-gen connectivity is “starting to light up.” Even excluding the latter two cities, the 5G network already covers “nearly 6,000 cities and towns and more than 225 million Americans across more than 1 million square miles.”
