MetroPCS: One Company Not Doing Badly in Recession

One company that's doing well despite the crappy economy: MetroPCS, which sells all-you-can-eat cellphone service in LA and other markets for as low as $30 a month. The carrier announced this morning that it had signed up 249,999 net new subscribers during Q3, significantly more than the 182,000 that Wall Street expected, according to Jefferies analyst Romeo Reyes.
