Softbank - New Sprint - Discussion

I've seen this with other companies - the stock has vested and now they are free to sell. I don't think this is bad news, just an opportunity to sell at today's prices and maybe diversify their investments with stocks from other sectors.

 

Yeah, they are shifting their portfolios to TMUS.

Random, but speaking of telecom stock's USCC's is getting beat up today after posting subscriber losses yet again. USM is down almost $4 at the moment.  :o

 

:drool: Time for Softbank to make a move there (one that won't draw heat from the DOJ or FCC)!

Unfortunately the only way he probably looks in that direction is if he becomes convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the DoJ and FCC won't let him have TMUS.

He needs to be doubting it.  I wonder if we can help him draw the conclusion faster?  :)

For better or worse I doubt that many self-made billionaires have gotten to where they are by being deterred from their plans in spite of the first, second or even third time being told "NO".  :wall:

We have never to date received any single donation larger than $100, ever.

 

Robert

Until now... ;)

 

Seriously, though, I finished my taxes on Sunday and came out even better than last year, so an overdue donation was already on my mind. Your post prompted me to pull the trigger before my refunds deposit into my account. :tu:

Here is Hesse talking about sprint spending 35 billions in 5 years building a new network.

Glade to see him say there is a since of urgancy in the network build but also supper disappointed to hear him say they'll only be 2/3 complete by middle of the year. If he is talking about NV 1.0 any way.

I interpreted his "2/3 complete" comment to be a reference to the overall Network Vision project, which encompasses both the "rip and replace"/1xA/CDMA 800/B25 LTE (NV 1.0) stage, and the LTE B26+B41/GMO to full-build conversion stage (NV 2.0). Everything we've heard so far indicates NV 1.0 is supposed to be wrapped up by this summer.

He said they will be complete with all rip and replace by mid-year does that mean all legacy equipment will be off tower's.It sound's a little vague to me.

Every site should be running on just NV gear by the end of summer. Just probably only a few odd outlier sites with problematic owners remaining. But not necessarily all the deinstalls complete.

 

Deinstalling old equipment is a low priority and doesn't really materially mean much. However, deinstalls seem to be occurring much faster now. They were taking 6-12 months at the beginning of NV.

I was shocked at how fast 90% of the Pre-NV gear was ripped out of Lansing, once the 3G was integrated.  Only a few oddball sites, like the lugnut, still have legacy antennas.

Not sure Sprint can be held liable since the phone and thus its contents were no longer hers.

Sorry, but she should of not had them on her phone there. Anyone with a brain would go thru and delete stuff like that and anything else you don't want others to see on your phone when your turning in a old phone for a new one or returning a phone to the store so things like this won't happen. I personally wipe my phones of ALL INFO before I return or turn in a phone to ANY store.

 

I don't think Sprint should be liable for it due to the fact that once you turn in your phone and either replace it with a new phone, you release Sprint of all of their liability if I am correct on this if not please feel free to correct me on this.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
