T-Mobile USA said on Wednesday that it has named John Legere as its new CEO, filling a spot vacated in June with the departure of Philipp Humm.
Legere will have quite a task on his hands as the No. 4 U.S. carrier has been struggling to stem a tide of customer defections, particularly among its base of contract customers.
At the moment, T-Mobile is the only of the major carriers without an iPhone to sell. The company is also behind when it comes to offering next-generation LTE services. The company said it plans to start offering LTE next year, but Verizon already has hundreds of cities covered and AT&T and Sprint have also begun deploying LTE networks of their own.
For the moment, T-Mobile is focused on a push to make its current 3G network more iPhone-friendly and hope that cheaper plans can convince thrifty customers to bring their own iPhone to the carrier.
