Great news. I wonder if this will come with a subsequent final bump of B26 power levels to absolutely ensure the voice footprint is as close to 1x as it can get. 

It's good to see that NY and Delaware are absent from the soft launch, as they are definitely not ready yet. Sprint must know this, and is hopefully taking measures to get these markets up to snuff before finishing the VoLTE rollout. 

The New Jersey market when I live is definitely not ready yet..density must dramatically improve from its current position to a better one or calls will drop...

Tell us how you really feel @MrZorbatron!

I think that most cellular players exaggerate their coverage. Yes, I suspected a long time ago that T-Mobile was one of the most egregious. Now according to the merger presentation, they will end up with 85,000 macro sites. That will be enough to match the coverage of pretty much everybody.

Like you, I appreciate not having dropped calls or undelivered texts. In my area on my T-Mobile MVNO, I don't get any but can't say it won't happen elsewhere. Once Charter offers service via their Verizon MVNO, I think I will move my 4 personal lines there. My business line will stay on Sprint/T-Mobile, well, because I can't control that.

to me rural coverage matters most....because i like being able to make phone calls and send texts in remote areas of the country ...i dont care about speeds i just care about per square mile coverage and over all usability and reliability

I think they have 180 days (6 months).

And I would definitely say that merger probably or probably not won't be approved. If not I would have to say it would be on the grounds of cellular asset divestiture.

No, I want them to trade band 12 and 26 for band 71, thus getting more band 71 spectrum.

hmm but i doubt they will do that though...but then again the merger has to be approved first.

I want the combined company, down the line to pare down their bands to a manageable number by doing some well thought out spectrum horse trading. For example, T-Mobile and Dish exchanging band 71 spectrum for either Band 26 or 12. Maybe even host Comcast's Band 71. Or trade AWS-3 to Verizon for PCS spectrum. Maybe just limit their bands in the end to 600MHz, PCS, AWS and 2.5GHz. Fewer antennas/RRHs, less weight, less rent.I am not saying that this should happen soon but down the line. 

to be honest i doubt tmobile will give up their band 71 spectrum.....

I think with our current administration its more than likely this merger will be approved.

I don't agree with you on that. Even though it's Pro Business in most cases it really doesn't guarantee that the merger will be approved. I mean look at the AT&T and Time Warner deal that's being that with ferocious resistance.

I believe nothing until I see it happen with my own eyes.

It's about time, even though PR already has band 41, unfortunately the VI won't be getting band 41 so band 13 will be a massive help to sprint customers in the VI. 

well hey its better then verizon having that band 13 !

very pretty ....

Excellent write up AJ

Swiftel must go!

So the lg G4 for sprint doesn't it include the domestic carrier bands and if unlocked couldn't it be used on a different carrier that owned a 700 MHz license

Holy cow they are defiantly expanding which makes me happy

why is it always negavtive for spectrum below 1GHZ

great article !
