does anyone else have IPv6 access functioning on their handsets? 

[BlueAngel]

2x2 MIMO with 4x receive diversity

And what exactly will this do for B26?

Allow split sectors, potentially double speeds, increase signal stability (especially useful at edge of cell) etc.

When can we expect this to rollout?

Yes

 

It's been live on LTE (and I presume EVDO with ehprd) for at least a year or 2. Interesting side note, tethered devices also get a unique globally routable IPv6 address.

Yeah, and they've got the CFO talking at conferences a couple times as well.

 

Today and on December 5th as well.

On the webcast, the CFO just said that Sprint stopped leasing Android phones because they weren't holding their value.

it was not obvious?

[RedSpark]

The interviewer said how her son goes over his Sprint data cap and she gets notices.

 

In response, Tarek just told the interviewer that Sprint offers great Unlimited Plans.

 

Lol!

[RedSpark]

it was not obvious?

Yeah, but it's always good to have confirmation.

[RedSpark]

Great info from Tarek on Sprint's CapEx and why it passed on the 600 MHz auction. Definitely worth a listen.

 

Sounds like he really knows his stuff.

[nexgencpu]

Tarek just reiterated my point about 600Mhz, its just a spectrum of the past..

I personally think he is the grownup in the group. He is probably Sprint's most important asset (Besides Marcelo of course  )

[RedSpark]

Yup. That's what he said.

 

He also commented on the much larger existing global ecosystem for 2.5 GHz vs 600 MHz.

[nexgencpu]

Yup. That's what he said.

As time goes on, its even less important for Tmobile, as they continue to expand coverage it becomes less and less of a necessity. By the time its deployable, Its going to end up being used for capacity rather than coverage which is not really an efficient way to use the lowest band spectrum in the states, and even then, it will be saturated in no time.

 

Truly is spectrum of the past in my opinion.

[bigsnake49]

Yup. That's what he said.

No matter what they still need to put all three bands on all their sites then fill in with small cells. Execute, execute, execute!

Well looks like Sprint put in a huge order for 8t8r equipment, so it looks like its happening as we speak.
