T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) has been the little engine that could, an underdog. Once expected to disappear, it’s now become the driving force in the wireless space.
The company is still the third largest carrier by number of subscribers, but it has tremendous momentum. T-Mobile added 8.2 million subscribers in 2016, marking the third straight year it’s topped 8 million new customers. That’s the most in the industry by far, and it’s fair to say the company, led by CEO John Legere, has changed how the overall wireless space operates.
