Sprint Reportedly Bowing Out of T-Mobile Bid (was "Sprint offer" and "Iliad" threads)

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.

    • Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!
    • I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip
    • Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]
    • Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
