What ever happened to ISN?


Mondays In Flames

Recommended Posts

So the other day I was going to a couple of websites and I went to ISN (Inside Sprint Now) but I remembered that Sprint had the site brought down. What happened? There really hasn't been any updates from ISN since the whole moving his stuff offshore or something?

 

Just Curious :)

I remember seeing somewhere on these forums a link to documents showing that Sprint was asking the court to subpoena some websites to hand over the details of who the person was. Quick google search found this:

My guess would be he's laying low trying not to be found out. Haven't seen any updates on the Twitter feed or anywhere else in a while, but it's been a couple weeks since I looked.

I loved this dude during the whole EVO LTE embargo, and he was better when the OG EVO came out. I know Sprint hates stuff like this but to me he was the only thing that kept me from cancelling my order for the LTE. Companies at some point are going to learn that there is a very large segment of customers that love phones and anything to do with them. We are not the majority but large enough. There is nothing wrong to give information AND saying this is the best info we have right now. Hell if I were Sprint I would be sending tweets stating what cities are having LTE sites installed, heck maybe a webcam. A reality type of show on line possiblly. It's not just Sprint of course and they are better than most but I think some business miss a real opportunity to interact with customers. Facebook and Twitter are fine but stupid updates and wallposts don't cut it in most cases. Tweet something significant like "Guess what Tampa we are in town..LTE coming soon" that would be cool but companies don't want that. Too busy trying not to be a dumb pipe I guess

ISN got in trouble when he posted some internal webcasts with Alcatel Lucent

S4GRU is still around because of you.  Being a member driven and supported site, we thrive as others fall.  We will still be around as long as you guys (and a few gals) are still here.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • 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.
