Great find!!!! Its nice to hear another major wholesale customer in Cricket to sign up for LTE service. If MetroPCS can just sign up for a wholesale LTE deal, that would be great as well as the former Lightsquared customers.

 

I just hope that Clearwire is making good progress with China Mobile to develop the TD-LTE standard.

I hope we see some momentum from this for the ex-LS2 customers. I am still very afraid of how Clearwire will fare starting June 2012 to June 2013. That is going to be a huge loss of revenue for Clearwire. I know a lot of EVO customers will jump ship to LTE service and any 3G customer will jump to 4G LTE phones. I know that if I were a EVO customer from 2010, I would jump ship to the LTE phones come June.

Some more news on Clearwires deal with LEAP. Also, Clearwire is in negotiations with Metro PCS and has a deal with C-Spire.

I don't think C-spire has signed up with Clearwire yet. If you read the article again in the section quoted below, only 2 ex-LS2 customers in MVNE Simplexity and FreedomPop have signed wholesale deals with Clearwire. The article was just mentioning other LS2 customers, C-Spire and SI Wireless, could be of interest to Clearwire.

 

"Still, Clearwire has already announced two agreements with companies that had signed deals with LightSquared: MVNE Simplexity and FreedomPop, which aims to provide mobile broadband on a freemium model. Other companies that signed deals with LightSquared include C Spire Wireless and rural carrier SI Wireless."

What's sad is their stock can't catch a break...even with news of lightsquared customers defecting to them and lightsquared being about done itself you would think the stock would see a lil life.

It was up on the new customer deal but then the next day retraced about all of the move...someone is evidently sitting heavy on this thing...

      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.
