Ok they'll sue but unless there's a clause enabling them to break the contract… tough luck.

Sometimes it is easier and cheaper to settle.

Not necessarily.  There is a lot of case precedence for good faith negotations and unforseen escalations.  If one party in the contract is getting a gigantic windfall, and the actual asset owner is getting pennies on the dollar of its actual value, there is a good chance that the courts will allow a partial or full renegotiation.  It's not that cut and dry.

I share the same stance as AJ with regards to BRS/EBS.

 

I think Sprint needs to hoard all of their spectrum assets.

 

BRS and EBS is Sprint's differentiating factor. They will, at some point in the future, be able to deploy most of it, if not all of it. Just because the technology doesn't exist to utilize all of the BRS/EBS today or in the foreseeable future, doesn't mean the technology isn't coming.

 

While all of the other carriers are scrambling to pick-up more spectrum, Sprint has the freedom to focus on finding ways to deploy what they already have. It's a great position to be in - having so much spectrum that you literally cannot deploy it all by current technological limitations.

 

Selling even a small sliver BRS (or not renewing EBS leases) would be foolish.

To anyone who took up the offer for adding a new line of service and getting it for free for a year. Has anyone had billing issues with it? My bill had cut today and I got charged for the line. My understanding was I would only be charged for the installment billing only and everything else would be a credit.

 

Totally not cool. I've been on hold for 15 minutes now. Hopefully I can get this resolved.

I really forgot about that. Well the rep tried to send me back to store I went to back in November but I refused and he sent the issue to internal escalations so hopefully they will fix it.

All promotions can take 1 to 2 bills to have the credit. I like to tell explain it and say you will see the credit for months 2-13. Same thing happens with the waived access fees and other promos. Sprints system always takes a bill to show it. Usually a sympathetic Care rep or NSS rep will remove the charge if you are not an ass.

It seems the trash mags are taking an even more ill tone with Sprint this year than last.  

 

http://seekingalpha.com/article/2811845-odds-stacked-against-sprint-in-2015

 

While price wars can hurt cash on hand and the stock price, almost two years after being acquired by Softbank, Sprint is still glared at as though it is an independent company without backing.  Bankruptcy?  That isn't looming.  Softbank would either attempt to take the remainder of the traded company, sell off unnecessary assets, or attempt another merger having proven that after aggressive competitiveness,  consolidation must occur.

I don't get why they're not buying Cspire ASAP

Seeking alpha usually writes pretty good articles about Sprint's finances. I'm not a finance guy by any stretch but the gist ( jist?) of the article for me is that Sprint needs to show it can consistently add subscribers in 2015 for investors to become more bull(ish).

Seeking Alpha doesn't write any articles. Individual contributors do so you're at the mercy of the author.

Sprint can't get any worse than now so I wonder why softbank doesn't buy the other 20%

To increase debt load just to lock up native coverage in the great state of Mississippi?

 

That may the reason why.

i agree -- but I think they need to get their house in order.  

 

maybe they are waiting till TMO passes them and that will jump Sprint ahead again? 

 

AJ already said it. It's simply not worth absorbing their debt to get a coverage boost in one state, Mississippi at that.

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      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.
