Highlighting new accepted sites


Feech

Recommended Posts

If this is a pain someone tell me.  It would be nice if while doing the weekly site acceptance reports if somehow this sites were marked on the map in a way that would draw attention to them.   In my market for example if we get 1 or 2 accepted sites its difficult to discern where the one went live.  Is this possible without a lot of effort?  I'm sure other people would like it.  Then once Robert does the big weekly map update, those accepted during the week would be unhighlighted

It would involve much more work than the current map updates are, and they already take hours each. 

 

Also, there isn't one "big weekly update" anymore. The maps are updated with each near-daily update, so removing said highlighted points would involve going back through everything and unmarking them. 

 

It would nice to see, but it's just unfeasible.

No doubt about the script and lord knows that I hate to ask for more than what he does but as an area fills out it gets nearly impossible to keep up with.  I have just started to just look at the sites that are important to me..

I been thinking about it since I have the same problem identifying sites, probably the solution is using excel and some formulas with vlookup to separate data. you would need the master database, already updated sites data and the daily updates to merge into one report sheet and have it ready to upload.

 

Time consuming but manageable.

This has been asked before...repeatedly.  We will not be doing that.  Besides, half the fun is finding them.  ;)

 

Take screen shots if that's important to you.   :twitch:

Topdown has one market, I have 99.  I'm serious as a heart attack...I'm not doing this.  No way, no how.  I love my wife and kids too much.  I'm sitting here at 11:15 PM just trying to update the maps and the Market Acceptance thread before I go to bed, and then I have to get up at 4:30 AM to get ready for a meeting at the Capitol.  I am not looking to take on more work.

    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
    • T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
