Here's an actual real world example of T-Mobiles network outside of major cities. I found this on Twitter and thought you would enjoy.   First one this morning all excited he got TMobile.

Luckily, S4GRU can just become Softbank 4G Rollout Updates.

Did someone find the merge thread button? On Tapatalk I was on page 10 earlier today, but now I'm on page 161.

That would be an error. I merged a 60 page thread with 10 page thread the other day when Sprint bowed out of the T-Mobile bidding and Hesse was canned. I probably should've closed both threads and started a new one. That was my bad. That said that gives you about a 70 page thread (and we are at 85 now) a far cry from 161.

Tapatalk only had 10 or so posts per page, so it will be nearly double the number shown on the desktop version of the site.

If Illiad drops out, then you'll see reality get reflected in TMUS stock. I believe the actual value of it if the price isn't inflated would be around $25 billion.

If Illiad drops out and there aren't any suitors, I bet Sprint eventually tries the merger again, but from a much better position than this go-round, both financially and network-wise.

Can't wait until we see these slides in Sprint investor conference calls.

 

Some T-Mobile guy on Disqus tried to lecture me on the Doppler effect for 2600 MHz.  It was bullshit, and he did not respond to my rebuttal.  But I am curious how much the Doppler shift affects LTE on Shinkansen.  The trains do travel at up to 200 mph, which is three times the 70 mph maximum angular compensated speed that I used in my domestic calculations.

No tapatalk has how many post you set per page 10-50, check your settings.

 

Or, as I call it, Yabba-dabba-do-talk.  None for me.  Home or mobile, I take my S4GRU straight.  No water back.  No chaser.

At the time, TMobile was at 33 a share in which Sprint was willing to pay 40 a share, than comes Illiad offering 33 a share, than sprint back out, TMobile dropped to 30 a share, and is currently now sitting at 29.82 a share

40 dollar a share had the merger possibility built in. Remember there was regulatory uncertainty and the merger was only a rumor so the price of the stock has to reflect that. Now that the Sprint possibility is gone the price reflects that and the illiad offer and the uncertainty surrounding it.

If Fantasy M&A, is going on :-)

 

"Fantasy M&A"?  Is that like "Fantasy Island"?  I suppose Masa Son is just the right vertical fit, literally, to say, "Look, Marcelo, de plane, de plane."

I suppose, but wasn't trying to be "insensitive? "

 

More of - what the pseudo perfect combo is :-)

I bought more Sprint stock today at $5.58

 

Please let this be the bottom. :frantic:

 

You should let John Legere know.  He will probably show you the bottom.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
