DaQue Member Level: 4G LTE

I saw an article on fierce wireless that made me rethink how well Sprint will compete. The article appeared to show Verizon and AT&T will each be spending more than twice as much as Sprint for the next few years. $20 billion level numbers were talked about compared to 8 for Sprint.

Can you link the article? I'd be willing to bet those figures aren't entirely for wireless. As I'm sure you know, both of those companies have sizable wireline divisions that require significant CAPEX as well and I doubt that they break out wireless CAPEX from total CAPEX.

Sounds like some old figures ya got there. I think Sprint said around 8Bil at the start of NV. Then they raised that figure shortly thereafter. Then SoftBank came along and double-downed.

Sprint isn't made out of money like Verizon and ATT. Why? Because Sprint offers amazing deals and well.. let's face it there coverage isn't like Verizons. Verizon can spend 20Billion to work on there network because people like to over pay. Let's just say I prefer sprint 4G over Verizon 4G here and Verizon 4G blanked my city. But I do not want to pay out the ass for there shit. I've used 7Gb of data this month. That would be a big ass big on Verizon. and i sayyy NTY! :)

      These creditors are going to get screwed one way or another. I see no exit for them that will be painless. Rule # 1 - Never get in bed with Charlie.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Trip · Posted

      I don't disagree entirely but a lot of the really rural coverage (like where I grew up) still has little or no competition.  There is a lot of overlap but there are also a number of unique sites that will help things. But also, the fact is that a lot of the rural T-Mobile coverage is still "map filler" coverage that doesn't actually provide reliable service.  This will help. https://imgur.com/a/LRWF3FO Using where I grew up as an example, magenta is T-Mobile, blue is US Cellular, and gold are unique sites Shentel planned but didn't get a chance to construct before the buyout derailed things. EDIT: And even a number of the T-Mobile sites shown here are Shentel conversions.  The only reason for the site NW of Keysville is that Shentel built that one before the buyout pause.  The site southwest of Meherrin wasn't a Shentel conversion, although Shentel did plan to build there, but rather was added to fill a gap along US-360 when the Shentel conversions were taking place.  Three of the five sites in Farmville proper are Shentel conversions also, as is the one north of town just barely on the map. - Trip
