Watching TV, Watching, Living Room, Domestic Life, SmilingWell, it looks like T-Mobile is willing to spend big to get their new “disruptive” TV service off the ground. We now know that T-Mobile paid $325 million to buy the TV provider Level 3 as part of their effort to get their new TV service off the ground.

“People love their TV, but they hate their TV providers,” said Legere when the deal was announced. “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,” added the CEO. “We’re gonna fix the pain points and bring real choice to consumers across the country. 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!”

According to reports, T-Mobile plans to use Layer3 TV to be the backbone of their new TV service. This will allow T-Mobile to get a jump start on their service without the need to start from scratch.Here is the original announcement from T-Mobile:

“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!”

Exactly what this service will be is still unknown. So far all we know is T-Mobile plans to launch a “disruptive TV service” in 2018. With this being T-Mobile it is unlike to be a traditional TV service but at this time we still do not know exactly what this service will look like.
