T-Mobile Mini leaks files filed by FCC

News of T-Mobile's Internet TV service rumor has been circulating since 2017, and a new FCC deposit of its set top box finally suggests an imminent launch. Spotted by Variety, the depot contains a PDF user's manual that calls the device "T-Mobile Mini" and presents some pictures of the gearbox continuously. The filing was made by Kaonmedia, the company that built the set-top boxes for Layer3 TV, a small cable company acquired by T-Mobile earlier this year.

On the back of the device, the HDMI input and output ports allow you to connect additional peripherals such as streaming boxes and game consoles. There is also an Ethernet port and a USB port for software upgrades, but no coax port, which suggests that it is an Internet-only enclosure. The device will have 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity and Bluetooth LE, presumably for the remote control with which it will be delivered.
