wonder what this tweet means from sprint news: "A new era of commitment & cust. srvc. begins tomorrow at 1:30pm CT & Chicago will lead the way #sprintforchicago pic.twitter.com/GvsC8o8ngi "

Who knows but maybe a carrier aggregation announcement!

I think they are going to push leasing with yearly upgrades... Offer some new way of testing their service... In select markets...and announce new stores from radio shack thing... Things we already knew here!

A testdrive program like TMO's - but longer - would be a good boost to sprint's fortunes.

 

The non tech crowd believe sprint sucks so no way will they transfer their number to test sprint but a "burner" phobe num with zero cost?

Why not?

That could almost be sprint's slogan.

Yeah I'm thinking that too. But with the statement "A new era of commitment" I immediately thought of network commitments since that's were sprint lacked in past eras and plus the event is in Chicago and Chicago has been sprints main priority market since NV1.0

You can already test with a burner phone number, if you like the service you can have your old number ported over your new line. A better trial without costs/fees, or a $700 hold on your credit card like T-Mobile does would be nice.

I hope too see new brand color scheme along with a new logo, the black and yellow and current emblem screams Dan Hesse.  Don't get me wrong Dan Hesse made great strides to improve Sprint with NV, LTE, and such but Marcelo is at the wheel now driving this company lets see some changes.

Maybe they are announcing a new call center in Chicago? I'm just guessing but a Commitment and new era of customer service in Chicago? That's what I get from it...

In a high tax state in a high tax city?

That'd be a big clue they're clueless.

For a call center maybe, but maybe this is a HQ move? Talent needs are much different if it is a HQ move. All pure speculation though.

 

I have a feeling this is really just the launch of the new Sprint - showcasing what Sprint can DELIVER with the right resources.

Apparently it is a Co announcement with Mayor Dead Fish Emanuel so likely some like of jobs announcement.

Well also looking closely at the poster, I do see something about additional LTE coverage planned.

 

From another Tweet:

 

"Sprint will announce its adding cell towers, opening stores & Chicago 1st city in the USA to get a faster network. "

 

So maybe it will be CA.

I see something about lte coverage and 300 million on the same line. 0_0

Looks like it's just a jobs announcement. 

 

Here's a live feed

The guy talking is not a very smooth speaker.

 

Basically

 

1. We've made the chicago network great.

2. will be spending more to make it better

3. Opening a bunch of new stores this year to give customers a great experience.

 

Jobs Jobs Jobs.

 

FYI - Convenient with Chicago mayor's race in runoff election.

"AT&T’s median download speed decreased from 8.5 Mbps to 4.3 Mbps since August testing."

"T-Mobile’s median download speed decreased from 7.0 Mbps to 4.1 Mbps"

 

 

Ouch.

    • 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.
    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
