I hate to be a jackass...but I no longer have time to answer the "What about my market? What about my major city?" Every time we post an update.   Seriously, I am running out of time to do everyth

Looks like they're just announcing cities where LTE has started. This is in addition to the 100s of cities they announced earlier.   http://finance.yahoo...-140000991.html

There are detailed maps with timeline info in the Premier Sponsors section. Here's info on becoming a sponsor: http://s4gru.com/ind...come-a-sponsor/

 

Only first and second round markets have schedules in the Premier Sponsor section. The Albuquerque market appears to have moved from the 4th Round to 3rd Round. But I have not been able to corroborate that.

On the original schedule, it would have been more than six months from now. However, Sprint has been shaking up the 3rd and 4th rounds a lot. So it may be sooner now than originally planned. But even with schedules changes, it is not likely to be before the end of the year. And there is no guarantee that the LCV market will improve its position in the changes.

I can't help but feel the ramp up of 3rd/4th rounds seems to have somehow neglected the mid-end 2nd round markets

I think San Diego is under way now. I think all the 2nd Rounders are starting deployment now except the Pacific NW, and perhaps Michigan. Just a feeling.

I certainly hope so but haven't noticed any lte squawking from the ones that should be coming along in the county. I will keep every updated when those things change though. I try to check all of the (soon to be or should be lte live) sites within a 30mile radius (30 towers or so) at least once a week

So, San Diego didn't get WiMax and now it looks like we have to wait even longer for LTE!!!! WTH!!!???

 

San Diego is not some small town in the middle of nowhere.... we have QUALCOMM here.... Should have been one of the firsts... at least in California....

I'm not sure but I don't think it's that they chose a before b but that they chose all 38000 and are doing them as the backhaul etc can get done. Its not so such you have to wait for some place to get done before your area starts. Something permits whatever holding it up and at least something is being done somewhere rather than waing on doing a more desirable city to be able to start work.

Has work only started in cities specifically named in this post? Or does it include the smaller cities that aren't worth mentioning? The city I live in happens to be right between four of the named cities.

All the markets named have work under way, but not all markets with work under way are named.

Figure of speech. South jersey was a 3rd round, no? North doesn't ever have one.

As far as I know, South Jersey was always a 2nd round? I'm assuming North Jersey will follow suit. Thankfully I work in NYC, so I'll see LTE, eventually.

      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.
