No, it’s not a joke. While mega-corporations are filing for bankruptcy as global recession fears spread, there’s at least one company shining brightly. Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile’s parent company, has announced a “good” 3Q 2008. Successes with the company’s T-Mobile wireless operator division, Deutsche Telekom managed to boost net income to €1.18 billion ($1.52 billion) up from €1.06 billion ($1.37 billion) last year, beating Wall Street’s expectation of €866 million ($1.12 billion) in earnings.

T-Mobile helped DT’s bottom line by pulling in €639 million ($824 million) in data revenue – a 28.3% year-on-year increase. And, it didn’t hurt that T-Mobile USA added 670,000 customers to their subscriber-base.
