T-Mobile Sends Invites for Mysterious Event

T-Mobile sent invitations to the press Monday for an "exclusive" event to be held next week. Although it didn't elaborate on details, it appears to be about the company's future after the wireless provider officially merges with MetroPCS.

The invitations didn't say what the event is about, although the attached image had the following tagline: "We're still a wireless company. We're just not going to act like one anymore."

T-Mobile announced it was merging with MetroPCS last October, creating a larger carrier with about 40 million subscribers total. The two companies actually use similar wireless spectrum, which should help simplify combining their networks. Last week, in stark contrast to its reaction to AT&T's plan to acquire T-Mobile two years ago, the FCC approved the merger.
