I was just reading one of my favorite blogs GigaOM and Stacey Higginbotham compiled the jist of the Q2 US mobile provider results. I find it very interesting that it seems like T-Mobile is just barely doing ok and that Sprint is not burning out. Not surprising AT&T and Verizon are both making it. Maybe I’m reading this wrong, check it out yourself and let me know how you read this.
