Are we talking the PCS C block in the Bay Area? If so, MetroPCS holds the original PCS C block 30 MHz license, but that has been reduced to 20 MHz, as MetroPCS disaggregated part of the license, a C5 block 10 MHz to VZW.
On the other hand, if you are referring to the PCS C block in other markets or the AWS C block, the Upper 700 MHz C block, or the Lower 700 MHz C block, then it varies.
If you want to see T-Mobile's PCS 1900 MHz licenses and their arrangement for the top 100 markets, I put together this Google Docs spreadsheet:
Describes which parts of the wireless spectrum T-Mobile is licensed to use for cellphones, and as far as you're concerned W-CDMA is a high speed data technology (3G/4G)
If you don't understand what it means, you probably shouldn't care... but people who do will find this brief pipeline note quite interesting :-)

What is this:"T-Mobile in SF holds PCS B5, E, and F block 10 MHz licenses. UARFCN 612 = 1972.5 MHz center freq. So, W-CDMA is in F block."
supposed to mean, and why is it worth caring about?
