T-Mobile USA, Inc. today introduced two suites of mobile broadband data
plans to address the growing use of mobile broadband devices (tablets,
laptop sticks and mobile hotspots) and the increasing demand for data
among business customers. T-Mobile’s new 500MB, 2GB, 5GB and 10GB
overage-free and 500MB, 2GB, 5GB and 10GB high-speed data plans address
the desire of customers to select the plan that best serves their
business priority – whether that is predictable monthly billing or
access to high-speed data for a reasonable cost. Pricing begins as low
as $19.99 per month for 500MB on the high-speed data plan. This is an
attractive entry point for low-volume data users and in line with
T-Mobile’s strategy to provide disruptive pricing for business customers.
For many businesses, predictable monthly costs are paramount. T-Mobile’s
new overage-free data plans allow businesses to control the expense of
monthly data usage with plans that slow data transmission speeds when
users have used their data allotments instead of incurring overage
charges. However, if maintaining the fastest possible data speeds
available on T-Mobile’s network is the priority, the new high-speed data
plans do not slow speeds as the allotment is reached, but instead apply
overage charges ranging from $0.02 to $0.10 per MB depending on the data
allotment selected.
“Over the past five years, the amount of data crossing T-Mobile’s
network has grown by 146 times. This growth in data usage and the
associated cost is top of mind for our business customers – from small
businesses through large multinational corporations,” said Frank
Sickinger, vice president of business sales at T-Mobile. “In combination
with our portfolio of compelling 4G mobile broadband devices, the
availability of our new overage-free and high-speed data plans empowers
our customers to not only choose the right amount of data, but, more
importantly, choose a plan that best addresses their business
priorities.”
When connected to T-Mobile’s fast and dependable nationwide 4G network,
T-Mobile’s portfolio of 4G mobile broadband devices provide business
customers with fast access to the Web, e-mail, and other corporate
assets and productivity tools while on the go. T-Mobile offers
compelling 4G-capable tablets, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 10.1,
the Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 7.0 Plus and the T-Mobile® SpringBoard™ with
Google™. The company also offers a selection of Hotspot
devices and laptop sticks, including the T-Mobile® Sonic™ 4G
Mobile Hotspot, the T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot and the HSPA+ 42-enabled
Rocket™ 3.0 USB Laptop Stick.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect the
current views of Deutsche Telekom management with respect to future
events. These forward-looking statements may include statements with
regard to the expected development of revenue, earnings, profits from
operations, depreciation and amortization, cash flows and
personnel-related measures. You should consider them with caution. Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are
difficult to predict and are generally beyond Deutsche Telekom’s
control. Among the factors that might influence our ability to achieve
our objectives are the progress of our workforce reduction initiative
and other cost-saving measures, and the impact of other significant
strategic, labour or business initiatives, including acquisitions,
dispositions and business combinations, and our network upgrade and
expansion initiatives. In addition, stronger than expected competition,
technological change, legal proceedings and regulatory developments,
among other factors, may have a material adverse effect on our costs and
revenue development. Further, the economic downturn in our markets, and
changes in interest and currency exchange rates, may also have an impact
on our business development and the availability of financing on
favourable conditions. Changes to our expectations concerning future
cash flows may lead to impairment write downs of assets carried at
historical cost, which may materially affect our results at the group
and operating segment levels. If these or other risks and uncertainties
materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements
prove incorrect, our actual performance may materially differ from the
performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We can
offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will be achieved.
Without prejudice to existing obligations under capital market law, we
do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements to
take new information or future events into account or otherwise. In
addition to figures prepared in accordance with IFRS, Deutsche Telekom
also presents non-GAAP financial performance measures, including, among
others, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin,
adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income, free cash flow, gross debt and net
debt. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but
not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with
IFRS. Non-GAAP financial performance measures are not subject to IFRS or
any other generally accepted accounting principles. Other companies may
define these terms in different ways.
