* General ad info: Click here | Today's Top News 1. T-Mobile expands MetroPCS footprint by 50M POPs, adds $40 rate plan
Less than three months after its merger with MetroPCS, T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) said it has expanded the MetroPCS footprint by 50 million POPs. Along with starting service in 15 new metro areas, T-Mobile also said it is expanding its bring-your-own-device service to all MetroPCS customers.  | | Nokia's Lumia 521 is making its way to T-Mobile's MetroPCS brand. | Additionally, MetroPCS launched a new "$40, period," rate plan that offers unlimited voice, texting and 500 MB of LTE data. Once a customer reaches 500 MB, their data speeds are slowed for the rest of their billing cycle. Metro continues to offer $50 and $60 plans with larger high-speed data allotments. T-Mobile said in May it would extend the MetroPCS brand to another 100 million POPs over the next six quarters, and today's announcement represents the half-way point in that effort. MetroPCS' new markets include Baltimore; Birmingham, Ala.; Cleveland, Akron, Sandusky and Toledo, Ohio; Austin, Corpus Christi, Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio, Texas; Fresno, Calif.; Houston; Memphis, Tenn.; New Orleans; San Diego, Calif.; Seattle and Tacoma, Wash.; Tallahassee, Fla.; and Washington, D.C. Tom Keys, executive vice president and COO of T-Mobile's MetroPCS unit, said 13 of the 15 new markets are where Cricket provider Leap Wireless (NASDAQ:LEAP) currently offers service, and that MetroPCS will go aggressively after those customers. Moreover, he said in an interview with FierceWireless that, since MetroPCS is now using T-Mobile's network and spectrum, it will be able to offer service that is seven times faster than legacy MetroPCS service. Keys said it will take about a month for MetroPCS stores and dealers to get established in the new markets, a process that is going on now. By around Sept. 1, he said, MetroPCS will start rolling out advertising in the new markets. In the meantime, MetroPCS will be offering promotions to get customers in the new markets to switch over or bring their own phone. The MetroPCS BYOD program currently supports AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) and T-Mobile iPhones, and the iPhone 5s from Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) and Sprint (NYSE:S). It also supports GSM-based Android phones and Windows Phone devices, but not BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) phones, tablets or mobile hotspots. MetroPCS also announced that it will start selling the Nokia (NYSE:NOK) Lumia 521, an entry-level device that is Metro's first Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows Phone 8 device, for $99. The Lumia 521 has been a hit at T-Mobile thus far. MetroPCS will also launch LG Electronics' Optimus F3, an LTE Android phone with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, for $149. MetroPCS continues to expect that by 2015 its entire base will be off of Metro's legacy CDMA network and on T-Mobile's LTE network. T-Mobile's LTE network now covers 157 million POPs in 116 markets, and the company expects to cover 200 million POPs with LTE by year-end. Keys said 48 percent of MetroPCS customers currently use LTE devices that can take advantage of T-Mobile's LTE network, which runs on 1700 MHz AWS spectrum. "We should be out of selling CDMA devices at the latest by the end of this year," Keys said. "So we don't think the migration is going to be terribly hard. By 2015, we want to have CDMA technology pulled out of the network." T-Mobile is now juggling three brands: The main T-Mobile brand, the Metro brand and the GoSmart Mobile brand, another prepaid offering T-Mobile launched shortly before it completed its acquisition of MetroPCS. Keys said he is "as pleased as punch" with how T-Mobile is managing the brands, and that the brands all go after different segments of the market. The MetroPCS brand, he said, remains focused on prepaid customers in the "dense, urban core," and not more upscale postpaid subscribers. Keys also said he is not worried by AT&T's plans to acquire Leap and keep the Cricket brand, noting that over the last several years, before the merger with T-Mobile, MetroPCS had outpaced Cricket in terms of subscriber growth. He said MetroPCS would continue expanding its market footprint at a steady pace. "Regardless of AT&T and Cricket, we were going to go do this," he said. "This just gives us a really glowing target to go after, because there's a reason there's been a decline in that [Cricket] customer base." For more:

2. Samsung posts surging Q2 profit thanks to smartphones
Samsung Electronics reported that its net profit soared 50 percent year-over-year in the second quarter, thanks in large part to its booming smartphone business. However, the company showed signs of slowing growth in its mobile unit and warned that competition in the third quarter could hamper its business. Overall, Samsung said its net profit jumped to a record of approximately $6.97 billion in the second quarter, up from $4.56 billion in the year-ago period and higher than the previous record of $6.41 billion in the first quarter. Total sales jumped 21 percent from a year ago to around $51.6 billion, in line with the company's guidance. Sales in the company's mobile business jumped to $31 billion, up from $20.1 billion in the year-ago quarter and $28.51 billion in the year-ago period. The unit remains responsible for about two-thirds of company's earnings, according to Bloomberg, but there are signs that growth may be slipping. Operating profit at the unit jumped 52 percent-year-over-year but fell 3.5 percent from the first quarter.
"The mobile business, the company's biggest bread earner, has already peaked out in the first quarter," Lee Jae Yun, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities in Seoul, told Bloomberg. "That is increasing uncertainty over the company's overall profit growth next year." Samsung does not report how many handsets or smartphones it ships in each quarter. However, research firms have been estimating unit shipments for the past several years. IDC said that Samsung shipped 113.4 million total handsets (smartphones and features phones), up from 87.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Strategy Analytics pegged the total slightly lower, at 107 million, up from 93 million in the year-ago period.
Samsung's growth in the quarter was likely fueled by its flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone, which went on sale globally and which the company has spent billions to market. IDC said Samsung shipped 72.4 million smartphones in the quarter for 30.4 percent of the market, while Strategy Analytics estimated Samsung shipped 76 million smartphones for a market share of 33.1 percent.
Unlike rival Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which largely sells one new iPhone model and discounts the price of two older remodels, Samsung benefits from selling multiple variants of its Galaxy smartphones at a wider range of price points, which increases volumes. (Apple sold 31.2 million iPhones in the last quarter.) Samsung said its smartphone sales grew and were led by "solid S4 shipments," but that it suffered the marginal profit decline "due to increased costs of new product launches, R&D and retail channel investments, etc." Samsung said it expects the move toward LTE to benefit its smartphone sales in developed markets, while mass market smartphones and growth in China are expected to help it in emerging markets. The company is also banking on increased demand for tablets. However, Samsung said it could see a slowdown in its mobile business in the months ahead. "The smartphone market will likely continue to grow in the third quarter but there's a chance that the pace of growth may slow as competition intensifies with new model releases," Kim Hyun-joon, vice president of the mobile business, said during an earnings conference call Friday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

3. Huawei, Lenovo and ZTE give chase to Apple and Samsung in Q2 smartphone race
Although Samsung Electronics and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) continued to lead the smartphone market in the second quarter, according to research firms, their dominance is coming under stronger pressure from smaller rivals, especially Chinese firms Huawei, Lenovo and ZTE. According to both IDC and Strategy Analytics, Samsung and Apple took the No. 1 and 2 spots in the global smartphone market in the quarter, but Apple's smartphone market share fell to its lowest level for three years, according to Strategy Analytics. Both firms reported that Apple's smartphone market share fell in the quarter, with IDC pegging it at 13.1 percent and Strategy Analytics saying it was 13.6 percent. "Apple grew just 20 percent annually during Q2 2013, which is less than half the overall smartphone industry average of 47 percent," Strategy Analytics analyst Neil Mawston said in a statement. "Apple's global smartphone market share of 14 percent is at its lowest level since the second quarter of 2010. The current iPhone portfolio is under-performing and Apple is at risk of being trapped in a pincer movement between rival 3-inch Android models at the low-end and 5-inch Android models at the high-end."
The verdict on Samsung was more difficult to discern, as IDC said Samsung's smartphone market share dipped year-over-year to 30.4 percent from 32.2 percent, while Strategy Analytics said Samsung's global smartphone market share actually grew to 33.1 percent from 31.1 percent. Samsung benefited from strong sales of its flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone but also form price discounts on its older S III model, IDC noted.
While the top two smartphone vendors remained the same from the first quarter, smaller firms were gaining in market share. According to IDC, LG Electronics, Lenovo and ZTE rounded out the top five smartphone vendors in the period. LG, which shipped a record 12.1 million smartphones in the quarter, saw its share grow year-over-year from 3.7 percent to 5.1 percent, while Lenovo grew from 3.1 percent to 4.7 percent and ZTE from 4.1 percent to 4.2 percent, IDC said. "The growth in the mobile phone market was partly driven by vendors from outside the Top 5 who experienced torrid shipment growth that outpaced the overall market," IDC noted. "Several vendors, including Alcatel and Huawei, had high double- and triple-digit growth rates in the second quarter for their Android-based offerings shipped to high-growth countries such as China and India. In 2Q13, these vendors from outside the Top 5 accounted for 44.8% of the overall shipment volume, up from 42.2% in the same quarter one year ago." Strategy Analytics said LG, ZTE and Huawei rounded out its top five smartphone vendor ranks for the quarter, with each growing share in the period. The research firm called out LG's performance in particular.
"LG was a star performer as global shipments doubled year-over-year to 12.1 million units in Q2 2013," Strategy Analytics analyst Linda Sui said in a statement. "LG captured 5 percent share and maintained its position as the world's third largest smartphone vendor for the second straight quarter. The popular Optimus and Nexus models have been the main drivers of LG's success. If LG can expand its retail presence and marketing in major countries such as the U.S. or China, LG could quietly start to challenge Apple for second position." However, that may difficult to do in the coming quarter, as Apple is likely to introduce at least one new iPhone model in the fall. In the overall global handset market, IDC said that vendors shipped a total of 432.1 million mobile phones in the second quarter, compared to 407.7 million units in the year-ago period and. 428.8 million units shipped in the first quarter of 2013. Strategy Analytics reported lower numbers, and said global mobile phone shipments reached 386 million units in the second quarter, rising 4 percent from 371.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The firm said this was the mobile phone industry's fastest growth rate since the second quarter of 2012. Strategy Analytics' numbers do not include grey market phone shipments, which account for the lower total than that of IDC. For more:

4. TracFone bleeds 192K subs in Q2 as América Móvil shuts off inactive accounts
América Móvil's U.S. MVNO, TracFone Wireless, lost 192,000 subscribers in the second quarter as part of a company-wide effort within the parent firm to shut off the service of inactive users.
TracFone's total subscriber base fell to 23.04 million, down from 23.23 million at the end of the first quarter. The total subscriber base is still up 8 percent from a year ago at the end of the second quarter. The company said the disconnects were due to "changes of the commercial conditions of certain plans." According to Bloomberg, América Móvil adopted stricter rules for how long a phone line can go unused and still count as a subscriber. The change resulted in the company losing 15 percent, or 1.9 million, of its subscribers in Peru, 307,000 customers in Ecuador and 100,000 in Chile. In May, TracFone acquired Start Wireless' Page Plus Cellular, an MVNO that counts around 1.4 million customers in the United States. Page Plus was primarily an MVNO of Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ). The action was TracFone's second major acquisition after its purchase of T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) MVNO Simple Mobile and its 1 million customers in the spring of 2012. As with Simple Mobile, América Móvil did not disclose the terms of its purchase of Page Plus. The Mexican company said it expects the transaction to close in the second quarter, pending regulatory approvals. However, the company did not mention the acquisition in its second-quarter earnings report. América Móvil is owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. In other second-quarter metrics for TracFone, América Móvil said revenues rose 37.3 percent year-over-year to $1.5 billion, as service revenue grew 35.6 percent thanks in large part to data revenues that increased 66.2 percent. Data revenue now represents 42 percent of TracFone's service revenues, which the company said have been growing steadily over the last four quarters.
Average revenue per user rose 19.2 year-over-year to $19 from $16. and traffic per subscriber jumped 29.1 percent to 532 minutes per month. Churn held steady at 4.1 percent. TracFone posted EBITDA of $156 million, which was up 11.5 percent year-over-year and was equivalent to 10.4 percent of revenues. TracFone, by far the largest U.S. MVNO, uses Verizon, AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T), Sprint (NYSE:S) and T-Mobile's networks. Part of the growth in data volume may be due to TracFone's embrace of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone.
In January, TracFone's prepaid Straight Talk brand starting selling Apple's iPhone, including the LTE-capable iPhone 5, coupled with unlimited talking, texting and data starting at $45 per month--significantly cheaper than what other carriers charge. Although neither company has confirmed the relationship, Verizon likely provides service to Straight Talk's iPhones. Straight Talk also supports existing GSM iPhones that users port to the service. The 16 GB iPhone 5 for Straight Talk sells for the full price of $650, while the 16 GB iPhone 4S goes for $550 and the 8 GB iPhone 4 goes for $450. For more:

5. U.S. smartphone users spend around 300 MB per month on Facebook, report shows
According to new data from Mobidia, U.S. smartphone users chew through around 300 MB per month accessing Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) mobile offerings. And that figure is split relatively evenly between cellular and Wi-Fi access to the social networking service. Mobidia shows that U.S. smartphone users on LTE connections consumed slightly more data than their 3G counterparts. Further, the firm's numbers indicate U.S. users consume more data accessing Facebook than those in the United Kingdom, South Korea and Canada. Mobidia obtained its findings via its mobile app. Millions of mobile users across the globe use Mobidia's "My Data Manager" app on iOS and Android to manage their cellular data consumption. A portion of those users anonymously send reports on their data consumption and application usage to Mobidia, which the company said gives it a view into on- and off-network data consumption in over 600 different cellular networks around the world. The company's findings, from April, are noteworthy considering Facebook was the nation's most popular smartphone application, according to January findings from research firm comScore. ComScore reported that Facebook's iOS and Android mobile apps were accessed by 85.6 million unique visitors in December, ahead of Google Maps, Google Play and Google Search. Further, Mobidia's figures show that Facebook likely continues to consume a significant chunk of all mobile traffic. For example, Cisco reported that the average North American mobile user used an average of 752 MB per month total at the end of 2012. And recent data from NPD Connected Intelligence showed that iOS and Android smartphone users consume around 1 GB of cellular data per month. To be clear, tracking such figures is a difficult task, and the numbers are always moving as more and more Americans purchase smartphones, and as their connection speeds continue to increase as wireless carriers deploy faster networks. Indeed, Cisco predicts that by 2017 the average North American mobile user will consume fully 6 GB of data per month. Related Articles:

SPOTLIGHT ON... T-Mobile launches summer promotion with $0 upfront costs for smartphones T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) launched a new promotion for the summer in which it is dropping the upfront price on its entire lineup of devices in stores nationwide to zero dollars down. That doesn't mean that customers get free devices--they still must pay monthly device payment costs as part of the carrier's Simple Choice plans (and must eventually pay off the full cost of the device). However, the promotion, which starts Saturday and is expected to run for at least a few weeks, will make it easier for customers to walk out of T-Mobile's stores with brand-new devices for no money down. Under the normal scheme, customers can make a down payment on T-Mobile devices and spreads out the rest of the cost of the device in monthly payments which are added on top of a customer's service bill; the new promotion just removes the need for a down payment and spreads out the payments over 24 months.
T-Mobile CMO Mike Sievert told FierceWireless that the promotion is a "direct response" to AT&T Mobility's (NYSE:T) "Next" device upgrade program, which he once again slammed as a program that makes customers pay for the cost of their device twice. A key distinction between Verizon Wireless' (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T's upgrade programs and T-Mobile's Jump plan is that Verizon and AT&T are not taking the cost of a device subsidy out of their rate plans; their rate plans remain the same under the upgrade programs, but customers who want to upgrade sooner are asked to pay the cost of the device as well. Although T-Mobile's Jump program has a $10 monthly fee, T-Mobile, through its Simple Choice plans, has effectively decoupled the cost of its service (which is cheaper than service from AT&T and Verizon) from the cost of devices. Jump lets customers upgrade their phone twice every year after the initial six-month enrollment period has expired. Sievert said the promotion would make Jump even better because customers can now switch phones after six months having paid less in equipment fees than under the normal scheme. Sievert also said the promotion is about sustaining the momentum T-Mobile has seen from its Simple Choice plans.
