T-Mobile today announced that it plans to launch a 'disruptive' new TV service in 2018 and will acquire Layer3 TV to help make it happen.
“People love their TV, but they hate their TV providers. And worse, they have no real choice but to simply take it – the crappy customer service, clunky technology and outrageous bills loaded with fees! That’s where we come in. We’re gonna fix the pain points and bring real choice to consumers across the country,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “It only makes sense for the Un-carrier to do to TV what we’re doing to wireless: change it for good! Personally, I can’t wait to start fighting for consumers here!”
Currently, Layer3 TV delivers a product that integrates television, streaming online video content, and social media in five cities across the US. T-Mobile plans to use Layer3's technology and team to build its new service taking advantage of the carrier's nationwide retail presence and customer care organization.
“No market needs Un-carrier-ing more than pay TV, so we’re completely stoked to join T-Mobile in disrupting the status quo!” said Jeff Binder, CEO of Layer3 TV, Inc. “Together with T-Mobile, we’re going to ditch everything you hate about cable and make everything you love about TV better.”
