Here's my wishlist for Sprint going forward:

 

4. Bid on 600MHz spectrum and get a sizeable chunk (20x20)

 

I would not hold out hope for that wish to come true.  Many markets will be lucky to free up 40 MHz for their total 600 MHz band plan.

To calm the nerves of our many wonderful members, I was luckily able to relax knowing that Sprint will be under Softbanks wing. So I'm superly duperly OK!! :P

" Softbank already owns a 70 percent stake in Sprint, which it purchased earlier this year for approximately $20.1 billion."

Just a case of poor reporting. They probably got confused with all the back and forth with Dish on who owns what.

You are right.  This is why Engadget is not worth my time anymore.

Speaking of sphincters... I hope the FCC loosens their sphincter(s) real soon over the deal.

The FCC is not being a *tight ass* regarding SoftBank-Sprint. Xenophobic politicians and Dish are/were the ones *constipating* the deal.

 

Research. Go read the FCC docket:

Very happy for Sprint today.  Best news we've gotten in more than 6 months. 

 

 

To be a fly on the wall wherever Ergen is crouching right now...  

 

 

 

I made this a while back and just kept it to myself, but I cannot resist now that the door is closed on the clown.

Basically the whole voting block is represented by 80% public shareholders such as myself. Out of that group, 98% voted for the transaction.

      Network Vision/LTE - Northern Jersey Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.

      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.
