What’s the news: T-Mobile brings 5G service to more parts
of Vermont as it opens its first two stores in the state. And, the
Un-carrier partners with Green Mountain Transit to provide Wi-Fi
for riders.
Why it matters: With two stores serving South Burlington
and Essex Junction, T-Mobile aids in job creation while serving
customers. And, the Un-carrier’s free Wi-Fi on public transit helps
keep Vermont residents connected at a critical time.
Who it’s for: Vermonters who want a more convenient
shopping experience, 5G service and reliable internet access while
on the go.
Get some of that sweet, sweet 5G, Vermont. T-Mobile (NASDAQ:
TMUS) opens doors this week in South Burlington and Essex Junction
— the company’s first two brick and mortar stores in the state —
bringing its retail presence to Vermont for the first time and
creating more than a dozen new local jobs. Deepening its investment
in the state, the Un-carrier also announces a new partnership with
Green Mountain Transit to provide free Wi-Fi service to their
riders.
“I would like to welcome T-Mobile to Vermont and congratulate
them on opening their first retail stores here in Essex Junction
and South Burlington,” said Cathy Davis, incoming President of the
Lake Champlain Chamber. "The store openings T-Mobile announced
today will provide new employment opportunities and signal
broadband expansion. The partnership with GMT will greatly improve
the wireless experience for riders. These investments are
especially welcome at a time when connectivity has never been more
vital.”
With new locations in Essex Junction and South Burlington now
open, customers can quickly and easily pop in, talk to a wireless
expert, get support and choose service plans and devices that best
serve their wireless needs. Customer and employee safety are top
priority. And of course, T-Mobile is closely following state and
local guidelines and requires all store employees and customers to
wear a mask inside stores. Store experts will maintain social
distancing standards and balance the volume of people inside the
stores when needed. In addition, ongoing cleaning and sanitation
protocols are being followed to help provide a clean, safe
environment for employees and customers.

Green Mountain Transit Partnership
Green Mountain Transit (GMT) passengers commonly request bus
Wi-Fi access, and today, T-Mobile and GMT are partnering to make it
happen, kicking off a pilot program in Chittenden County to outfit
all local buses with free Wi-Fi service. Later this year, riders
along their urban system routes including seniors, commuters, and
students from the local universities and high schools will enjoy
free internet access while on the bus, courtesy of T-Mobile.
“GMT is excited to partner with T-Mobile on this great project,”
says Jon Moore, General Manager, Green Mountain Transit.
“Passengers often request better technology options, and this
partnership allows GMT the ability to improve our on-board
experience to better meet the needs of riders.”
Network
And with all this goodness, the Un-carrier’s nationwide 5G
roll-out now covers more than 250 million people in nearly 7,500
cities and towns all across the country, including in Essex
Junction and South Burlington. And, T-Mobile just recently
expanded 5G to Shelburne last month. This is the country’s
biggest 5G network, covering 1.3 million square miles, much of that
in rural America. In Vermont, T-Mobile is committed to enhancing
network coverage with plans to add dozens of additional new sites
across the state over the next couple of years.
