T-Mobile has announced its first foray into the television industry, unveiling its new home service called TVision Home. Viewers will pay $90 per month for over 150 channels, much like existing high-end pay TV packages, according to Fortune.

Its service could appeal to consumers who want a bit more flexibility than they get with cable, allowing them to add subscriptions to premium channels like HBO and Showtime and access online streaming apps. ?
