The next big ramp up in data usage will be when driver less cars begin to roll out in the millions. people will go from driving, focusing on driving to riding and watching tv/netflixs/youtube so on... on their phones.

Not to mention all those cars will be talking to each other through the internet all on wireless networks which will require even more capacity.

I have to tell you all I am near tears right now.  I am so stoked that Marcelo listened to us, directly.  I am sure he listened to all the feedback he heard.  But I believe S4GRU was influential in th

Does anybody know what's the max theoretical speed for 2x CA B41?

 

 

I wanna say 150mbps.... but i don't think there is an offical number out there.... i have seen verizons carrier aggregation do 150mbps during peak hours... so it's hard to tell ..

I believe a B41 2x aggregated data pipe has a theoretical speed of 300Mbps.

 

82Mbps+82Mbps.

true, but i think the car information sharing will pale in comparison to streaming HD video but it will be an additional device and additional data usage all the same.

Not necessarily, according to this article...

"The other major factor in the increased prevalence of motion sickness is what adults will do whilst in cars instead of driving. In an opinion survey of 3,255 adults from the U.S., China, India, Japan, Australia and the U.K., respondents named reading, talking/texting, sleeping, watching movies/TV, working and playing games as the activities they’ll engage in while riding in self-driving cars. According to the study, almost all of the activities mentioned worsen the frequency and severity of motion sicknes"

We are flying in Houston. Faster than your cable broadband. Time to cut the cord and consume content in your phone twitter.com/nm_sprint/stat…

 

 

...well that's disconcerting

 

Legere at T-Mobile has been saying the same thing since Binge On launched: Cut the cord, use your phone.

Sex.  Yes, it will happen a lot.

 

If this autonomous car is a rockin', don't come a knockin'.

So instead of the "mile high club", it will be the "high mileage club"?  B)

 

I also predict quite a bit of substance usage.... Can you technically be charged with a DUI in an autonomous vehicle?

I would say yes.  State or even national laws will be crafted to require an unimpaired driver be prepared to take control of the vehicle if the autonomy system should disengage.  Think of it like a commercial airliner -- when on autopilot, pilot and/or copilot still must be seated in the cockpit.

Good point. I'm imagining "Cops" episodes in the future: "Sir/M'am, we're citing you for being drunk while operating an autonomous vehicle."

yeah im not sure what he is implying I hope its nothing we are still many many years away from having enough capacity to offer home internet..in my opinion, someday but for him to post this now is strange.

someday I think it will be ok, perhaps even illegal to drive your own car on a public road.  theoretically computers would be significantly better at diving than people are, again this is kind of distant future.  When you really think about it people are by nature terrible drivers, I think it will be a safer world when we are no longer behind the wheel.

But what about those of us who actually like to drive?

eventually that interest will pass again we are talking about several generations in the future, personally I would love to own a fully autonomous car without a steering wheel, I would even pay a premium to not have to drive.

Apparently I waited too long to jump on the offer of $120/month for up to 4 lines and no access fees for as long as on the plan. I called today and they said promo had ended. The second time j called the lady offered me $40/month for 6 months credit. A manager is calling within the next 24-48 hours to see what they can offer.

Whah do you recommend I do?

When calling Sprint choose the options that make your way to the cancellation option. Then ask them about the offer. They always seem to be more competent and willing to work with you.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!

      Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.

      It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip

      By dkyeager · Posted

      T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
