When the service looks ready for Prime-time, then they partner with Sprint in some way. nTelos might just be a good way to get a system in place, fix the issues, and not really tip off anybody of the long term plans with Sprint. Sprint has the 2.5 spectrum nationwide and an established network of cell sites with backhaul. They are testing with 2.5 spectrum as that is what they plan to use for a full roll-out. Sprint has the 2.5 spectrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnicekid Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think so... many thought dish would be the new #4, I am starting to think Dish/tmo/Sprint all together somehow... Comcast will be the 4th.... They offer TV/Broadband services.. phone services.... Att/Directv same as Comcast....Verizon... almost the same as the other 2... Its not just about cell phone service anymore.. its about mobile options or solutions however you want to put it.. Dish/tmo/sprint together puts them in the same ballpark as what the other companies are doing... Consolidation..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I am guessing there is not a small data package, making it a form of unlimited?(within reason) which isn't bad for $29.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsnake49 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Dish and Sprint are trialing the same service as the one offered by Dish and nTelos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Dish and Sprint are trialing the same service as the one offered by Dish and nTelos. I have heard that, maybe here on S4GRU, but I never could find any real proof like we have in nTelos territory. Is it operational anywhere in Sprint Corporate territory or just in nTelos Territory??
