Terrell352 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I wonder how many cell towers and installations are going to need to be repairdd or replace after the storms? Sent from my 2PYB2 using Tapatalk Good question. It's going to slow deployment for the South East for sure. The eye of the storm is headed our way. Hope Sprint network can handle the extra load.

RedSpark Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Just listened to the Livestream replay of Tarek Robbiati's Conference Talk from yesterday. http://investors.sprint.com/news-and-events/past-events/event-details/2017/Bank-of-America-Merrill-Lynch-2017-Media-Communications--Entertainment-Conference/default.aspx So many great topics covered in 40 minutes. Click the link to replay it. CapEx, Magic Box, Sprint/Virgin Free Service Promotions, T-Mobile's Netflix Bundle, Cost Reduction, M&A. Hundreds of thousands of "Magic Boxes" are coming apparently... and in multiple form factors too. Definitely worth a listen! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Multiple form factors. I wonder what they would look like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSpark Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Perhaps suitable for outdoor/environmental mounts as well as business settings. The current form factor is primarily for home use but is also being marketed for business. Tarek was talking about producing these in the hundreds of thousands to get the price down even lower. Sounds like they're at the very beginning of Magic Box and ramping up scale. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundreds of thousands of "Magic Boxes" are coming apparently... and in multiple form factors too. Definitely worth a listen! Multi form factors: Per the call... Post mount (weather protected), cable mount outdoor (weather protected) etc... So yes, it appears sprint will be using magic box outdoor eventually also... As a side question... as our MB's go live on network, do you think it will reflect in coverage maps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericdabbs Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Boost Mobile now includes taxes and fees in their service plans just like Tmobile. I hope this comes to Sprint postpaid to compete with Tmobile. Just another way to align themselves together with Tmobile. I think with Taxes and Fees included and being the only carrier now that contains 1080p video streaming in their base service plan, hopefully that should draw more customers to Sprint. https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/8/16273586/boost-mobile-now-bundles-taxes-fees-in-service-plans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think if existing customers want to take advantage of that why should they restrict that to new customers? I think those that are on the ED1500/SERO/Framily/Unlimited Freedom/etc should be allowed to take advantage of that. Trying to simplify the number of plans should be the goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This last unlimited plan, 2 for 100 with autopay including 10GB tether they did eventually allow current customers to switch over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dro1984 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sprint must be doing upgrades in my area. My now "old" Note 5 now displays B41x3 (cubed).... 3 x carrier aggregation? This started over the last week. I think that is the limit for this device? Will massive mimo mean that some newer phones can use and display something like B41x64? (or more)?

B41^3 on SCP just means third carrier. 3xCA is likely live, but you won't be able to connect with the Note 5. SCP also cannot tell when CA is active, only which carrier you are connected to as the primary channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
