T-Mobile officially launches new Unlimited Nationwide 4G plan
We have known for a while that this was coming, but now the day is officially here. T-Mobile is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in the United States, and as a gift to us, T-Mo is now offering its new Unlimited Nationwide 4G plan. The new plan offers exactly what you'd expect from the name: true unlimited 4G data with no throttling.
The new unlimited everything plan on T-Mobile will be $89.99 with a subsidized phone, which puts it at $10 less than Sprint's unlimited everything plan. And, if you bring your own phone, the charge is only $69.99 a month.
This is a very aggressive move by T-Mobile, and most think that the carrier needs a bold move. It has been losing customers, it has been slow to build out an LTE network (even though its HSPA+ network can be just as fast or faster than LTE in some areas), and of course it is the only major US carrier that still doesn't have a deal to carry the iPhone.
What do you think: will this new plan help T-Mo?

T-Mobile Celebrates 10 Years of Innovation with Launch of Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data Plans
From the iconic Sidekick® to industry’s only national Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan, T-Mobile continues to reinvent the mobile experience
Bellevue, Wash. — Sep. 5, 2012 2012-09-05 10:57:18
T-Mobile USA, Inc. marked the 10th anniversary of its T-Mobile brand in the United States by making its new Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan available in stores today. The plan underscores T-Mobile’s longstanding focus on delivering customer value and service excellence through constant innovation.

T-Mobile USA established its nationwide brand in September 2002 and has been quietly innovating ever since, beginning with Sidekick®, the first all-in-one wireless device with an unlimited data plan for consumers.

First Wi-Fi Calling Service in U.S. (2007) – Allowed voice calling over Wi-Fi
First Android phone – T-Mobile G1™ with Google™ (2008) – Kicked off wave of subsequent Android offerings
First U.S. carrier to launch an HSPA+ network (2009) – Today, T-Mobile’s fast and dependable nationwide 4G network is available in 229 markets, reaching well over 220 million people
First to break from Subsidy Model (2009) – T-Mobile’s Even More plans and later Value Plans allow customers to pay for their devices over time or to bring their own devices to T-Mobile
Today marks another first: T-Mobile becomes the only carrier with a nationwide 4G network to offer unlimited nationwide 4G data. Featuring no data caps, no speed limits and no overages, as well as fast, dependable nationwide 4G coverage, T-Mobile’s new Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan offers the ultimate worry-free experience for data-hungry smartphone customers.
