KC to STL -- I70 deployments

[dedub]

I am curious, is it expected/known whether NV upgrades will continue outward from KC along I70 towards and into STL, or will KC deployments reach a certain threshold and stop, and then eventually deployments will start within STL and expand out eventually covering the i70 corridor?

I'm assuming they will reach their boundary with the KC market and move on. When they get to the STL/Missouri market they will work backwards to fill in through Columbia.

It would appear deployment will stop just short of Boonville, and then start over in St. Louis and work back west when they start working on the Missouri market. When that will be I don't know. Sounds like 2013.

Most markets are deployed in a shot gun approach, over the whole market, not starting in the main city and working outward. The order of deployment is not based on which places Sprint thinks are the most worthy, but rather the sites that have everything in place and ready to go (especially backhaul). Some rural and highway sites end up going first. In most instances, urban locations seem to be the last sites that get worked on. It varies a lot, from market to market.

Perhaps I should have just said, it'll start over in the Missouri market sometime in 2013?

Joplin is in the Missouri market and should be started. I don't know if that means getting the paper work out and finding pencils or people going to the tower.http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-328-sprint-marketing-updates-4g-lte-city-list-where-work-is-under-way-and-adds-20-more/

I'm right next door, so if I get a chance this weekend, or maybe next I may make a road trip over to see if anything is going on.
