JeffDTD Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Leaves me very hopeful for sprint. And for tmo.... build me a value network better than what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 The merger was approved without even a vote by the commission. It was rubber stamped at the bureau level. The silver lining is that SoftBank-Sprint-Clearwire should deserve similar treatment. AJ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So, Mr. Spectrum guru... is there a list of what MetroPCS had in licenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supert0nes Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I guess there wasn't even a thought of making them divest any PCS licenses. Oh well, I hope for good things from T-Mobile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 So, Mr. Spectrum guru... is there a list of what MetroPCS had in licenses? All of the PCS 1900 MHz spectrum holdings (except for the Providence market, which does not appear to be in active use) were detailed in my article back in October. http://s4gru.com/ind...-from-metropcs/ I did not track the AWS 2100+1700 MHz spectrum, since Sprint would not benefit. But I could round it up, too. MetroPCS does not have that many distinct markets nor that many licenses. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keitarou Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think I read somewhere that Sprint will have the best spectrum for 20X20 LTE deployment once the merger completes. Saying they have a great future. I hope so... we need more players to make prices cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think I read somewhere that Sprint will have the best spectrum for 20X20 LTE deployment once the merger completes. No, that is 20 MHz FDD LTE. You will not see that anytime soon, if ever on Sprint. But Clearwire is deploying 20 MHz TDD LTE. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 503ducati Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 http://money.msn.com...410&id=16340781 As part of the sweetened offer, Deutsche Telekom also expanded the lock-up period - when it is prohibited from publicly selling shares in the company - by 12 months to 18 months after the deal closes. The new offer will reduce debt to $11.2 billion from a proposed $15 billion for the new company. The German operator did not change the equity structure of the new company, which will be 74 percent owned by Deutsche Telekom and 26 percent owned by MetroPCS shareholders. The new terms will postpone a special meeting of MetroPCS shareholders that was scheduled for April 12, according to a Deutsche Telekom source with knowledge of the situation. MetroPCS said late Wednesday that it has rescheduled the special meeting of MetroPCS shareholders to April 24 to vote on matters relating to the proposed merger.

dedub Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 http://arstechnica.com/business/2013/04/t-mobile-to-absorb-metropcs-after-shareholder-approval/ MetroPCS shareholders have voted in favor of the company's merger with Deutsch Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile, Reuters reported Wednesday, despite dissension from one of MetroPCS's largest shareholders. The shareholders' approval was the last obstacle T-Mobile and MetroPCS needed to pass in order to meld themselves into one carrier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv1 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've been noticing MetroPCS stores have been opening, advertised, in my area and nearby locations where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
