I have to tell you all I am near tears right now.  I am so stoked that Marcelo listened to us, directly.  I am sure he listened to all the feedback he heard.  But I believe S4GRU was influential in th

So Sprint supports Trump. Anywho, I wonder how and where these 5k are going to be allocated within the company? The bulk will probably be call center and sales associate type roles would be my guess. Either way it's great to put people into jobs.

I want to know are they closing call centers overseas or what

I doubt THEY are. These are likely outsourced by contract to 3rd party vendors. Just cancelling a contract that uses an overseas vendor and creating new positions stateside.

Anyone care about one web?

http://oneweb.world/

 

I remember somewhere in here sprint was planning on using satellites for backhaul or something like that?? In rural areas??

Interesting check out one web... Seems like sprint/SoftBank has big plans for something in 2017. 3000 jobs to one web?? Doesn't seem like a merger to me yet. Really sounds as if SoftBank has something up its sleeve.

Masa (potentially) likes Trump. I would not go so far as to say Sprint likes Trump. But they have to find a way to work with him.

It does in the grand scheme of things.

No, actually, it doesn't. Trump is a business man: he knows how mergers go. 9 times out of 10, they result in a loss of jobs, not a gain. He won't let that happen under his administration.

You may want to look a bit more into his businesses. It's not about the actual businesses, but the appearance of the businesses. Perception is yuuuge for him.

I'm not talking about his businesses. I'm talking about his goals as a president. He wants to create jobs, not get rid of them. I only refer to him being a business man because he understands how businesses work.

Here are 3 recent examples of mergers that happened, FedEx buying TNT Express in the Netherlands, no one lost there job because it was buying a company in a country where FedEx wanted to get into. But UPS was denied buying them because there would have been a loss of employment, UPS already there doing business. Example 2, Lenovo buying Motorola, there is no one there from Motorola anymore. They were all given the pink slip. Example 3: Verizon buying AOL, no one at AOL anymore. Given compensation and pink slip and all sucked into the big red void known as the Verizon universe. Mergers do not create jobs. They retain, and or cut duplicate positions out.

Gilat announced in October that they're partnering with Sprint to offer sattelite backhaul for LTE in rural and metro edge areas....I wonder if this partnership will be a conflict of interest with one web

Marcelo previously hosted a fundraiser for Hillary at his home in Miami.

If she had won, Sprint would have worked with her too.

Why do you think Son is letting Trump take credit for the $100B/50,000 jobs and now the 8,000 jobs? You'd be totally naive if you did not think that there was some serious quid pro quo, aka horse trading going on. What would Son want from Trump? Think really hard! :P

I don't think you really listened to the first announcement back a couple of weeks ago when Masa spoke after meeting with Trump. If Hillary had won, this wouldn't be happening because it would be business as usual with policies already in place by Obama. Masa had said if Hillary had won, no way he was going to be able to do what they are doing now. There is no quid pro quo, just the US is about to become a lot more business friendly and job creation.

Except Son had already announced the $100B fund in October.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
