Description: MetroPCS Communications, Inc. was founded in 1994 by CEO Roger Linquist and CTO Malcolm Lorang. The company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on April 19, 2007. MetroPCS Communications offers wireless broadband personal communication services, also known as PCS, for customers to use on an unlimited basis. The company charges a flat rate for its services and does not require customers to sign a long-term contract. MetroPCS Communications serves customers in the San Francisco, Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Sacramento, Tampa/Sarasota/Orlando, Dallas/Ft. Worth and Detroit metropolitan areas. In November 2006, the company acquired advanced wireless services, or AWS. That acquisition added several new markets, including six of the top 25 metropolitan market areas in the United States. Those markets include, but are not limited to, the entire east coast corridor from Philadelphia to Boston, including New York City, as well as the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
