SeanK_ Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Albuquerque on the list? Let's just hope they say Albuquerque and no El Paso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Albuquerque on the list? Let's just hope they say Albuquerque and no El Paso. The Albuquerque market is involved, which covers all of New Mexico and El Paso. I'm guessing they will be launching El Paso, and nothing that is actually in New Mexico or Albuquerque.

IamMrFamous07 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I thought Baltimore was already officially launched....I guess not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I thought Baltimore was already officially launched....I guess not Im guessing Tyler tx should finally be announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I thought Baltimore was already officially launched....I guess not Not the city of Baltimore. The Baltimore market. The city is in the market, but the market includes Baltimore and its surrounding cities and towns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkoellerwx Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 I thought Baltimore was already officially launched....I guess not I probably should have included this for reference, to show what these markets consist of. They are much larger than one city or even metro area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Im guessing Tyler tx should finally be announced? I would say that's a pretty good bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDTD Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Expect multiple cities across the Mississippi Gulf Coast to launch. Picayune, MS will probably be on the list too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A454nova Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I don't know if I understand this... So expect the colored areas on the map to be announced or the list? The list shows DFW, and I thought they already announced DFW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilg740 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I don't know if I understand this... So expect the colored areas on the map to be announced or the list? The list shows DFW, and I thought they already announced DFW. The map is to explain what regions are in which market. The list only contains MARKETS that are involved in the launch but does not necessarily mean that the market will launch but certain cities(that we do not yet know) will launch within those markets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is of markets where individual cities will be launched. Unfortunately, Sprint marketing (to keep up with Verizon and AT&T) has confused the term "market." We use "market" to denote the Sprint markets as defined in the map above. Sprint uses the term "market" to refer to each individual city they launch with LTE. So, within the Sprint Markets listed in the original post, there will be a few new CITIES launched with LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucdenny Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Most likely to launch before Sprint report their 3rd quarter earnings which is scheduled for 10/30/13. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for sooner than later, it's been quite some time since their last announcement, and the LTE footprint has grown quite a bit since then.

I think I get what you mean, but I'm still confused because I thought Sprint officially launched the market and city of Boston in January.. https://community.sprint.com/baw/community/buzzaboutwireless/network-and-coverage/blog/2013/01/28/sprint-brings-4g-lte-to-boston-austin-and-growing-number-of-cities-in-2013 Not that it matters, I know the announcement itself is just a marketing/PR thing, the network itself has been chugging along for months.. just curious. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxyguy Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Not really related to the post but it's interesting the "Shentel" market didn't make the map. We're just a white spot with no label even though Shentel really has done a great job with upgrading most of their towers to LTE and 1x800. I'm guessing the map came from Sprint so I'm curious as to why that market was left off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They manage their own network and operations which is completely separate from Sprint corporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosefTor Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I hope that by launching 4g in a market, the rate of NV acceptances won't drop dramatically like it did in other launched markets. I would imagine that would happen less since we are in the final push to complete NV 1.0 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that would happen less since we are in the final push to complete NV 1.0 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Most, not all though, continue to see acceptances at a pretty good rate after launch. In some cases it seems slower because the market has filled out enough that the new additions are less noticeable. In others, there was a larger push right before launch so when it goes back to normal, it seems like a big fall off.

Sprint does announce when Shentel launches new areas, but we generally don't know about it before hand because as mentioned, they are an affiliate so the information is handled a different way.

mmark27 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The Boston market covers the whole state of Massachusetts, there are still spots in the state that haven't been launched yet. And they made the best roast chickens...... (Boston Market) That would make sense. I was hoping for sooner than later, it's been quite some time since their last announcement, and the LTE footprint has grown quite a bit since then. Thanks for the teaser Dkoellerwx! Excited to see which Milwaukee Market cities make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
