There is no turning back for T-mobile now. They have finally turned on a second city where they’ll be offering their 3G service. After paying billions for the licence’s, and subjecting customers to hopelessly slow EDGE data for years, Las Vegas has become the second official city where 3G is offered. 

This means residents and visitors to Las Vegas and New York can benefit from faster speeds on their devices. Of course, since T-mobile barely has any compatible 3G devices in their lineup, it might be some time till anyone actually gets to enjoy it.

By the end of the year there should be 20 major cities with 3G coverage, so expect more of these announcements as more cities are “turned on”.

The rollout of 3G in Las Vegas apparently cost them $28 Million. Assuming most other cities will need twice as much infrastructure, T-mobile has close to $1 Billion in investments lined up.
