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.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
