Well evidently this thing is actually getting real close to being released to the masses. Google's Dropbox like competition called GDrive or Google Drive is rumored to launch in beginning of April...

 

...According to the details from my sources, Google is going to offer 1 Gb of storage space for free, but will charge for more storage. The market leader Dropbox currently offers 2 Gb for free. Google’s product will come with a local client and the web interface will look much like the Google Docs interface. Interestingly, it will launch for Google Apps customers and will be domain specific as well. Google has also built an API for third party apps with this service so folks can store content from other apps in the Google drive. My sources are impressed, so far with what they have seen....

What I think this will turn into is a more streamlined ability to FULLY backup your device in the cloud(Google Drive) seamlessly...The 1GB storage is a lil disappointing to me compared to Dropbox's, but as with anything this is still in the rumor phase and we wont know fully till its dropped...Even with the less amount of space I would imagine that Googles implementation would be much more fluid and better overall than Dropbox or any other competitor...

1gb for free? Is this some kind of joke? Even though drop box starts you out with 2gb you can get an addtional 3gb for free if you download the android app(by using the auto upload option) as well as getting additional free space by referring others to use dropbox, not to mention I also have a box.net account with 50gb of free space. Google should have started with at least 5 to 10 gb of space to entice others away from dropbox.

Box gives users 5GB for free and I got 50GB for free from them a year or so ago. 1GB is nothing now.

 

They do give 5gb for free but its not that hard to get it upgraded to 50gb at no cost.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
