I'll say it, Wimax was a good decision.

Ok if its not feasible, why is that spectrum so valuable to sprint? They had to move on that spectrum or lose it is what I read in another post in this thread. If this 2600MHz is going to have the same building penetration and need the same number of towers to run a full LTE deployment, is it really that important. I am guessing when clearwire deploys their 2600MHz LTE it will still be in a limited amount of markets. I think sprint should be trying to find some spectrum that would have better building penetration, and require less towers. Having LTE service in a spectrum I can't get most of the time indoors is not going to make me happier

It's valuable as a means to supplement an existing network by offloading capacity needs in high traffic areas, so-called "hot spots", but as a means to build a de novo network that requires ubiquitous coverage (both geographic breadth and depth in terms of in-building), 2.5ghz is a poor choice. In most recent FCC report on the AT&T -T-MUSA merger, FCC stated that it would take 7x the number of cell sites to provide comparable coverage using >2 ghz spectrum as it would take AT&T/VZW using their 700mhz/850mhz spectrum. The value for CLWR's BRS spectrum is in urban hot spots and high usage traffic corridors, and is now finally being deployed in a fashion that is suitable for its use -- unfortunately, that may not make it a viable independent company, as it needs to price its capacity as "first use" in order to efficiently off-load traffic, rather than "last-use" if it is usage-based pricing as how CLWR is trying to price its capacity for TD-LTE.

    • 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?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
