[{"type":"text","content":"\nWhat’s the news: T-Mobile is announcing a series of bold moves designed to drive developer innovation on 5G. It includes a new developer platform, innovation center, venture investments, T-Mobile Accelerator participants, and strategic 5G partnerships with Disney and Red Bull.\n\nWhy it matters: 5G is a game changer. But 5G hype has been out of control and 5G developer innovation has been disappointing. 5G will never reach its full potential if the Carriers don’t get out of the way.\n\nWho it’s for: Innovators building the 5G future and everyone who will benefit from the world they create.\n\n BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nIn an event from T-Mobile’s new innovation center, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) executives today unveiled a series of moves and partnerships called 5G Forward, all designed to accelerate 5G developer innovation.
