Yep it's that ugly thing in the middle. We have one here in town that is this huge dead tree. Looks so out of place and retarded. Google Street view pic here:

Whoever had this idea for a dead tree should be shot... big dead tree in Louisiana? Really? Wouldn't stand a chance in a typical storm and/or hurricane. I think they should have just put a big Izzo's sign on it and nobody would notice..mmmmm..Izzo's!!

 

This one is a little bit better but still dumb in my opinion: http://goo.gl/maps/DEqFo The smart thing to do with this site would be for Sprint to co-locate here.

 

Last but not least, this is my favorite type (and another one I wish Sprint would co-locate on as this is a dead zone for them...Nextel is here though). I'd love the lease payments on these ;)

Good luck finding this one with just a half second glance and no this is not an Sprint site. It's an ATT site that was upgraded last week from HSPA+ to new Ericsson panels.

It's the perfectly straight and unnatural looking tree. It's not really the tree I hate it's the cell phone hatting yuppie soccer moms with nothing better to do than complain about cell phone towers giving their kids headaches.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Bloosurf is petitioning to deny T-Mobile's request for an STA specifically in their service area. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp;ATTACHMENTS=Ghl9knTSFp8J4nVm1P9qL4541XR1gy58whH7Yyz0MwGs037gQrNV!-2042069078!-79842837?applType=search&fileKey=1297203795&attachmentKey=21718533&attachmentInd=applAttach Short read but pretty much they're saying that T-Mobile's operations in the BRS/EBS band has been interfering with Bloosurf's LTE-based WISP network and that this has caused them harm (lose customers, etc.) They claim that allowing T-Mobile access to all of the spectrum they bought in or near Bloosurf's service area would cause even more interference. To be fair they aren't wrong. They mention that in 2021 the FCC investigated and determined that T-Mobile was operating outside of its licensed spectrum band there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By red_dog007 · Posted

      Bit too early to tell imo. It's good news if Dish can stop the hemorrhaging. Q3/Q4 2022 they were able to stop the hemorrhaging. Their previous 6 quarters they lost between 160k and 350k subs each. Their next report will be interesting to see how they were impacted subscriber wise due to the hack.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I really wish this wasn't still so shrouded in mystery.  I see these phones available new on eBay (Boost locked, but again, I don't care) for $99, and would love to buy one of those and activate a Rainbow SIM on the $100/year plan, and I can't find a good answer on whether or not that is something that can be done, even if I drove down to Richmond to try to do it.  Don't really want to be out the $100 if they won't let me do it. - Trip
