Capital expenditure, the big 4.

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! :)

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
