Cricket Wireless to Become a National Carrier?

Cricket Wireless is known as one of the best pre-paid carriers in the country. However, this company serves 5.3 million prepaid customers in select communities in 25 states and it is projected to expand in the next few years. Well, Cricket Wireless may decide t enter the national scene in the near future.

Al Moschner, the executive vice president and chief operating officer of Cricket Wireless recently told Kent German of CNet that,

It's about national reach. An important part of our strategy is to become national. We're not going to stop building out our own infrastructure, but given that real growth in the industry is with prepaid users, we need to be a national carrier today. And more importantly, if you believe that a significant shift of sales is moving to a national carrier footprint, the only way for us to be relevant is to be national.

Moschner also talked about smartphones, music services, 4G plans and other endeavours.
