And that article is from literally a year ago, which was pre-Marcelo, pre-CCA/RRPP, pre-Sprint actually competing. Sprint is in a hugely different position than they were a year ago, and their future looks hugely different than it did a year ago. Using a literally year old article that has no relevance now to help fuel speculation makes no sense whatsoever.

The article is about Sonny Masayoshi Son, not sprint.

It goes to his way of thinking.

After spending $40bil you think they would implement policies to reverse their gains? Why?

Comcast is not customer oriented. That's the opposite of T-Mobile. Yes, I do think they would implement bogus charges and remove features that are already there.

Because...it's Comcastic!!

 

They'd probably buy them just for fun to see how they can create new ways to make wireless service horrible. And then sit back with cocktails while being fanned from their private villas on exotic islands somewhere watching the "peasants" react to them.

Contrary to popular Magenta belief, T-Mobile is not in the charity business, nor are they out for the customer's best interests. They offer a compelling product at a great price point for a percentage of their prospective customers. Right now they are riding this wave of growth and popularity, but what will they do when it wains?

[kudos for keeping this thread totally on track]

 

Same thing sprint did 2012-2014: Build the network while lying to customers about when it gets better. [emoji12]

 

What rain are you talking about and when?

TMO still has AWS Hspa left to refarm.

Tmobile Austria demonstrated 4x4 mimo to boost download speeds.

 

And their backhaul to each site is nowhere near capacity/sector x num sectors

 

And there's small cells with 5ghz LAA, 3.5 GHz.

When it wains....meaning when the number of customers starts doing the same thing that verizon's sheer number of customers is doing to it's network...causing to to be total crap in many areas. And it's inevitable.

 

Nobody was talking about rain, as in water falling from the sky..

He spelled it wrong, as he meant "wanes"...but it's an intransitive verb...

Lou99 used rain in the right context in relation to Deval's post.

Well, that's the rain...I'm sure Lou knows that though.

 

We all know ...let's use Apple as an example...that a company can't stay on that forever prosperous road.

 

From $700 stock to...where ...$129.40 right now. So, it's going to happen..

 

They can't ride that high horse but so long..and the growth will outnumber the availability of spectrum they have, then what.

The Apple stock example isn't a good example of failing, that $700 to $129.40 example doesn't factor in the 7-1 stock split that happened which brought that price down. So one share when it was at $700 is the same as 7 shares now which actually makes their stock higher value now than when it was at $700 per share.

They're banking heavily on the 600Mhz auction tbh. But, T-Mobile is also returning a profit each quarter. I do agree that eventually, they'll be outclassed by Verizon/Sprint in terms of Spectrum and will start limiting their services once they've attracted enough customers. (ie: price increases and removal of unlimited data.)

When Legere have his "uncarrier contract" pledge, he said unlimited is different and he could only give a 2 yr guarantee for it.

 

I totally agree unlimited on TMO will either end or become way more expensive in 2 years… which is when Im planning on moving to sprint.

 

Yay competition!

4. In every year of testing before this, Sprint has had 0. This is actually great comparatively.

And here we are today. Another market where sprint has the fastest LTE (since Trollgentas like measuring e-penis), something of which Sprint has struggled for so long. The ship is righting itself people and it's just going to keep happening in market after market after market. The usuals can keep spewing their nonsense and saying that Sprint has not improved anywhere, but as they often like to say, here is the evidence that they are wrong. I wonder if they will be able to accept that fact.

And there are still more major markets yet to be tested, like Chicago, Las Vegas, and Indianapolis. Really excited to see those results.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
