Sprint backing off of MetroPCS-TMobile?


Recommended Posts

Sprint is not backing off entirely from the MetroPCS deal. They are just saying that they are not going to make a counter bid offer to MetroPCS for now until they get a better understanding of how the Tmobile deal works. Also Sprint is a wait and see until MetroPCS investors have to vote 'yes' or 'no' on the proposed Tmobile/MetroPCS deal. Deals like this aren't approved over night and certainly before anything becomes official, the FCC has to bless it to ensure competition is not harmed by the merger.

 

Sprint has plenty of time to mull over any proposed counter bid and hopefully Sprint stock will continue to rise a lot over the next few months which would make a stronger case for a MetroPCS bid since their stock price is higher while hoping the MetroPCS stock goes lower or stays the same.

 

This is a better article to read than the one you posted since the one you posted is a small excerpt that doesn't explain what Sprint's position is.

No need. There's already been a thread started in the General Topics forum.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
