I wonder how many cell towers and installations are going to need to be repairdd or replace after the storms?

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

I'm sure Sprint will implement this at some point in time but for new customers only...

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.

Yeah, they might.  This last unlimited plan, 2 for 100 with autopay including 10GB tether they did eventually allow current customers to switch over.

Is massive mimo coming to b25/b26??? According to Samsung FDD massive mimo is coming. https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-sprint-conduct-real-world-massive-mimo-testing-mobile-world-congress-fall-2017/

That would be awesome, I also wonder where they will deploy it first, October is only weeks away.

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.

Very Impressive!    Can't believe this is the same Sprint of 2 years ago!    I really like the new ad motto:  "Sprint, working for you!"   Simple and to the point,... and now thank goodness, it's more than just hype!

Don't forget... "You ain't seen nothing yet".

    • My s24 Ultras auto updated to April 1 security patch over night. Not on wi-fi.  Play system remains at March 1. No notice that update occurred on screen.
    • Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active. My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update. Diags sent while n38 was displaying.
    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
