Sprints 'Happy Connecting' Event

No way, they can't eliminate VZW for roaming... it would leave 2/3 of the country with "No Signal"...

Not if Sprint managed to secure some type of native, network sharing agreement with dozens of carriers.

The problem with that is there are way too many holes that only VZW and ATT cover... If Sprint cuts out VZW there will be too many holes (1x800 should help a bit though).

 

We already have native roaming with a some carriers (I had "native" coverage in Lake Lure NC back a summer or two ago on Carolina West Wireless)...  It was actually some of the best 3G I have ever had.

 

If they do end up with network sharing with a bunch of carriers, the limited roaming we have now should be much less needed though (still no reason to eliminate it).

maybe a huge rural build out plan.

[TheForce627]

Or those areas that only Verizon covers sprint could build out. If I recall correctly Son said something about building out where there was only one roaming provider which I'm assuming is vzw

[Paynefanbro]

What time is the event? I don't want to miss it.

[Fraydog]

Sprint could build out a few areas they aren't in right now that are high growth like the oil country up in North Dakota. Other than that I don't see a whole bunch of opportunity. Maybe a payback build where Pioneer Cellular is, but that's probably just me.

I just wish they would cover everything Nextel used to cover. I spent all day yesterday in a spot covered only by Alltel and decommissioned (but still standing) Nextel sites.

That would likely be a good start, too.

I would also like to know, because I can't seem to find anything that states this.

I would be so happy if they did that too and I think that would actually be a good way to help use the 2.5 Ghz band

[grapkoski]

I bet they are announcing a revamp of their website. I noticed that Sprint Business received some new paint including an 'empower your weirdos' tag line. Not sure how well that would be received...

11 and I have been searching but I haven't found anything. It's slightly annoying.

International Wi-Fi calling. Awesome!

Dan looks so weird in a polo shirt. Going casual can be good. But in this case he looks like he belongs behind the Geek Squad counter at Best Buy.

International WiFi calling I wonder how that will work! Removing the CDMA network requirement? Yes please!
