Yes, I know. It's like he got stuck in a Gibsonian 80's, and forgot that Japan and Korea are two of our closest allies.

 

I can almost hear him yelling... "Hostile Powers! Chinamen! Heresy! Madness!"

 

It is a little known fact that Masayoshi Son's first name most directly translates to English as "Brigham." Maybe that will change Orrin's stance.

I don't think I caught the reference...

But why the Apple hate?

 

 

I miss the mobile industry before the iPhone. Too many Joe Blows who do not need smartphones have them now because of the paradigm shift brought on by the iPhone, and that has caused lots of problems for wireless networks.

 

We also had locked down phones, VCast, and inferior smart phones. Blackberry, Symbian, Palm, Windows Mobile? Those OS'es were awful! I went with a flip before the iPhone because, quite frankly, those devices were terrible.

 

Not to mention the US, for all the current faults in our system, has the highest smartphone adoption rates in the world. See the latest GSMA reports? The Eurasians, suddenly, want to be like the US mobile system. That wouldn't have happened without the iPhone. In fact, Android was originally meant to be a Blackberry competitor, and Samsung was copying Blackberry with the BlackJack running Windows Mobile.

I'm probably one of the few on this planet, but I really liked Windows Mobile, especially the "around 2003" versions. Sure, the interface was awful, the inbuilt web browser barely worked, it lacked any kind of task management, and it chewed through battery, but I liked it. Then they made WP6.5, which was kinda "ok", and WP7, for all its paradigm changes, didn't have the same "Windows charm".

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
