Sprint 3rd quarter results

You gotta look beyond the surface, but the numbers are promising. just last year the recapture rate was 27%, and now we have had two quarters of 59 and 60%. The Sprint brand has gone from 46.3 million subs to 52.8 million subs in a year. The nextel platform really messes up their numbers, but I can understand not just dropping all of them at once. 60% recapture rate is very enticing, and I believe it could become even higher as network vision progresses.

Is there something special about 800k subscribers on iDEN? Is it a magic number somehow once you hit it the FCC will let you wield the sword of Azeroth and leigh siege to the Nextel horde?

 

I've been playing too much WOW...

SMR is known as the 800MHz band. 800k customers. Sounds like a magic number to me, lol.

    • 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.
