Found an article while looking at Sprint's stock quote on CNN. The article actually doesn't completely bash Sprint, and they recognize the potential that Sprint has to be the best network in the US in the next few years. Pretty interesting read (even though its not like all of us on this site didn't already know about everything that is written in the article).

No doubt Sprint has the potential.  They have the best spectrum position out of any carrier.

 

The billion dollar question is - can sprint execute?  They are finally moving at a pretty good clip, if they can accelerate their plans and really move faster on getting voice/LTE on ESMR and then backfill with capacity using EBS/BRS in areas that see heavy traffic, they would be unstoppable.  Nobody could compete.

Still I wouldn't want  a Sprint partnership with Dish. They tried to sabotage the Softbank and Clearwire deals. Uncle Charlie and wall street should go after T-Mobile, and leave Sprint the heck alone.

I'm sure SoftBank will execute on this

"Sprint needs to divest 60 MHz of EBS to Dish and merge with T-Mobile STAT!" If that happens, can Dish get the ARPU ghetto subscribers? :lol:

I think you may have even got that wicked Massachusetts accent down too! :P

 

Bigsnake, I kid. All in good fun! However, I cannot mask my contempt for Charlie Ergen. That is something deep rooted.

Clam chowdah. It's like a Chicagoan saying "da Bears" I guess.

 

OT, I really do like the Hopper, Mom got one because she didn't want to switch off Dish.

      A new 60MB GP System update was waiting when I checked my S24+ tonight.  And bringing it to a November 1 date this time.

      Drove by there and it definitely isn't on the Northlake property. It was very late, so I couldn't see much else though. Did some more sleuthing on GoogleMaps and I suspect it might be this powerline site nearby: Google Maps I will go by there in the next couple of days during the daytime and see if that's the case.

      Vinegar Hill is getting the Brooklyn Heights treatment now with regard to small cells. I mapped two more small cells in the neighborhood in the past few days so now T-Mobile is up to 8 of them in such a tiny neighborhood. While it's cool they're doing this since it means outdoors you get a consistent 400Mbps+ almost everywhere, it sucks because they're obviously deploying so many of them to make up for their lack of a macro site in the entire neighborhood. Because there isn't a macro, the small cells have a greater coverage area than you see in other neighborhoods and you often connect to them while indoors but coverage and speeds fall off indoors much faster on small cells than on macros in my experience.  Even Dish has better coverage than T-Mobile in Vinegar Hill since they added the site on top of the Extra Space Storage building alongside AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile needs to get in line with their competitors there.
