As of right now, it's only rumor that Tmobile is dropping the @Home service. Even then they are only considering dropping a portion of the @Home service. Now which portion it is, they don't specify. It's cited that the new COO has deemed the program unprofitable. I searched on Google using the search term "Tmobile dropping uma."

Tom is right about one thing though -- the two components of Tmob@Home isn't very well explained. They hardly even mention the UMA part anymore, which I think is more valuable than their Voip component.

But it would it seem that if profitability is the issue, uma would be a better deal than their voip. As mentioned before, no other US carrier has uma, and by getting into voip, they are competing with other companies -- why do that? Seems like it would make more sense to keep uma, whereas with voip they have to offer caller I.d., conference calling, and all those extras.
