Seekingalpha are opinion based. No facts other than when some numbers are posted but even at that they can be skewed at times.

T-Mobile was just slapped with a $819k fine for hearing aid problems. http://www.fcc.gov/document/t-mobile-fined-819000-hearing-aid-compatibility-violations

What?!

 

I said T-Mobile was just hit with a hearing aid fine.

It wasn't "just slapped". This fine was originally imposed on T-Mobile four years ago. The company repeatedly tried to fight it for years. In the end, they gave up and accepted the FCC's fine...

Wait, so T-Mobile's network is so bad that people need hearing aids just to use it?? :sarcasm: Edited by MkVsTheWorld

Another thought http://m.seekingalpha.com/article/2461825-deutsche-telekom-wants-out-of-t-mobile-and-now?source=email_rt_article_readmore&app=1&uprof=51

 

Maybe Son knew he was paying too much?? Possibly using the feds as an excuse. Forking over the cash then the integration of the 2... Someone might have said hold on...

 

It would seem likely that charlie would get in line, possibly swap some spectrum with Sprint?? If he can afford it??

Loved this part:

An investment in T-Mobile has quickly become a gamble. The company does have appealing assets, but the suddenly competitive domestic wireless market could erode away some of the value. Not to mention, any lack of financing to bid competitively in the upcoming spectrum auctions will seriously hamper future growth.

Did you hear that? Sprint made the market suddenly competitive!

Charlie probably won't take Tmo on his own.. The price war isn't something he would want to get into while battling with DirecTV.. If DirecTV /att merger goes charlie might go with a different mindset to masa. Charlie would need masa in a very big way$$$

If Charlie is smart he would pair up with Masa and Marcelo. A Sprint and Dish partnership would be great and I honestly see the 3 of them working well together.

The next question would be could they survive with rock bottom prices here in the u.s. AND keep Tmo upgrades/expansions going..

 

I can't see charlie wanting a piece of that...but we will see..

 

***just a hunch- here it goes***

Is it possible DT doesn't want to sell to the French company??? Would it give them more power/$$/and scale to also help their phone company in Europe/France???

DT could be creating a problem for itself in Europe if Tmo continues to make money over here??...

How would T-Mobile-US making more money over here be creating problems over in Europe. Last I heard, T-Mobile-US was not making money over here, so the point is moot.

No. What would Deutsche Telekom gain in France? It has no native wireless presence there.

Yea T-Mo isn't making money at all they are just losing money every year. The lower the cost for consumers the profits are not existent for T-Mo

 

If I recall, a certain other US carrier hasn't exactly been massively profitable either......

 

T-Mobile turned a profit in Q2 (a very small one) and turned an even smaller loss in Q1. As of right now, they still have a very small net profit this year.

 

More or less they are breaking even. Sprint is in nearly the same boat with very small profits for Q1 and Q2.

Yea I know was just saying. Never said sprint isn't losing money. However I believe that Sprint has big potential for long term as for T-Mobile has no cash infusion and is in a tough spot since DT wants to leave the US market.

TMo's Q2 profit was entirely due to a one-time sale of spectrum. They showed an operating loss for the quarter.

I am sure Son studied T-Mobile's books very carefully and is now able to make better decisions how to fight them.

SSon can use that inside knowledge to Sprint's advantage

 

I doubt Son has seen financials beyond what's in 10-Q. The books only get opened upon a formal offer, and even then with an iron non-disclosure agreement probably. He'd be stupid to open himself to such a liability

Not like DT is showering TMUS with cash even now. They are used to taking all the profit back to Bonn, not giving it back

Yeah because... 700Mhz spectrum doesn't come cheap, neither does LTE. Or EDGE upgrades after years of neglect. Some equipment is said to be 10 years old, old T-Mobile management ran everything on the cheap while all the billions went to Germany

    • 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.
