Well, Rich is rarely more positive than Eric is about Sprint.  For whatever reason, they do their tests in areas unfavorable to Sprint.

Well what they do is controlled testing then. They have about as much credibility as trolls.

[twospirits]

I'm still wondering if I was witnessing another event of some sort. I'm certainly am not happy.

All-new network gains momentum with nationwide launch of HD Voice, expansion of 4G LTE and Sprint Spark service

 

CHICAGO (BUSINESS WIRE), June 23, 2014 - Sprint (NYSE:S) today announced nationwide availability of HD Voice, as well as 28 new 4G LTE markets and three new Sprint Spark™ markets. To mark the milestones and the network’s improved performance, Sprint also announced a satisfaction guarantee inviting users to experience Sprint service risk-free for 30 days.

“We believe customers will be delighted with the Sprint retail experience, our customer service, and the performance of America’s newest network,” said Dan Hesse, Sprint Chief Executive Officer, “so we’re guaranteeing it.”

After a complete rip-and-replace overhaul of its 3G network and the deployment of 4G LTE in 471 markets, Sprint has transformed its network to deliver faster data speeds and improved call quality, with a marked decrease in dropped and blocked calls. New market launches, coverage expansions, and technical network advancements will continue in the coming months"

So is today the official start of 8T8R deployment since Hesse announced it?

Too serious? We were hoping for something better, not a fitness tie up.

What I find disturbing is they are only committing to deploy Spark to about 100 top cities according to their website or have I missed something already announced

That's probably for just this year. 8T8R is being aggressively deployed all over. Vegas deployment permits started back in December/January.

They've said they are trying to deploy Spark in the Top 100 markets however you want to define that by the end of the year. Permits for 8T8R deployments have been popping up in places outside of that as well.

[cletus]

Ah well, maybe the next event where they announce acceptance of T-Mo/Sprint merger will be more exciting.

They are already deploying. We have found at least 6 sites in Vegas with the equipment up on the tower.

This is interesting: http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-releases/sprint-celebrates-americas-newest-network-with-a-satisfaction-guarantee-offering-wireless-users-a-30-day-riskfree-trial.htm

 

 

• 4G LTE in 28 new markets, including Seattle, Cleveland, and San Jose, bringing Sprint’s nationwide 4G LTE footprint to 471 cities covering more than 225 million people. Sprint expects to reach 250 million with 4G LTE coverage by mid-year.

Mid year, like now or next year? What exactly is going on here?

[Fraydog]

NSN 8T8R is already showing up, see the Premier threads for more information.

Seems like they rushed the press release and had several typos...Leave it to us to find them ;-)

GENIUS. By leaving it open ended Network Vision 1/2/3/4/15 will always be on schedule!

Vegas is still not launched.
