T-Mobile has completed its 3G network upgrade and now offers 3G coverage to over 200 million Americans

The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a third-generation (3G) mobile telecommunications technology. AT&T and T-Mobile are both using the technology to build upon GSM concepts and offer a faster successor to earlier standards like EDGE. UMTS offers faster up and down data transfer rates than EDGE.

The U.S. doesn’t have full 3G coverage yet, but the nation’s major carriers are already looking ahead to deploying 4G, as they continue their 3G rollout. Sprint was the first major carrier to start to deploy a true 4G network (WiMAX). Now T-Mobile has announced that its 3G upgrade of its current network is complete and it is beginning its own effort to deploy 4G (via HSPA+, then LTE).
