My rambling's and things I find...

Shentel joined our trade association. I wonder if I should read into that at all.

Yes you should read in to that. Publicly, right here in this thread.

We're a fixed wireless trade association. Shentel does mobile wireless (with Sprint, IITC). Are they embarking on fixed wireless? I kmow Sprint and or Dish has been working with someone that way regarding fixed wireless, but I thought it was someone else.

Voice over LTE technology can provide a superior user experience to both 3G circuit switched (CS) voice and VoIP services such as Skype, finds a study by Signals Research Group (SRG).

It can.

 

Doesn't mean it will.

 

It will depend entirely upon both the carriers' and device makers implementations at both ends (device and network).

Well right. Everything has that caveat.

Since @sensorly doesn't have its own forum, I thought I'd ask here.

 
Does the device have to be activated to map the signals? If so, I guess I could get prepaid versions and just not actually use them.
 
My thought is to get used phones on various networks and run Sensorly on them as I drive around. Later I put them on WiFi and upload the measurements. I now have accurate maps showing approximate tower locations and weak coverage areas.
 
The general public could use this as part of their carrier analysis. I'd use it to find where there may be people upset with how slow their hotspot or just general data use is and sell them my Internet.  ;-)

While negotiating services being delivered to a prospective client with many locations, I was told they have roughly 10/2.5 unlimited access from Clear for $55/month. Any insight on that service and how it is likely to change with Sprint migrating over to data packages for non-handsets? They obviously can't get legacy Clear in a lot of locations and a mobile network isn't as reliable\consistent as a fixed network, which is why we're talking in the first place. If that plan was going to be cut off soon, that's ammo I could use.

I know there is a discussion related to this topic here http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6285-Does-Sprint-have-plans-for-service-for-WiMax-home-customers-when-the-network-shuts-down?

Sprint and Dish are working on a fixed wireless broadband trial in Corpus Cristi, but Ntelos and Dish are offering service already in Ntelos's territory.

Frak... all backhaul to a tower goes down. Call the city. In his bumbling I determine that there are people onsite now building a temporary tower as the one I'm on is getting painted and gear is being moved. Thanks for the warning.

 

Idiots... I get there and people were fucking with the breaker panel. I check my gear and it is off. They're speaking an Eastern European language. When they're done with the panel, I reset the GFCI. Everything comes back. It would have started beeping immediately when they started messing around and beeped for hours. "Did that reset?" "Yes." "Do you not have a backup?" "Yes, it would have been beeping like that for hours." "Oh." Fucker

I have not read all of the NPRM, of the parts I have read and understood, it looks like great things are to come for people in the fixed wireless industry.

[mhammett]

Here's a podcast I'm in. Its most focused on the fixed wireless industry, but there's general networking, amateur radio, other nerd things, etc. http://thebrotherswisp.com

According to a posting that went up today on the FCC’s official blog, the start of the incentive auction is now being pushed back to “early 2016.”  Here is a link to the blog posting: http://www.fcc.gov/blog/incentive-auction-progress-report.  The new timeline is mentioned towards the end.

The link comes up empty -- Did the FCC pull the post for some reason?
