So Sprint supports Trump. Anywho, I wonder how and where these 5k are going to be allocated within the company? The bulk will probably be call center and sales associate type roles would be my guess. Either way it's great to put people into jobs.

I want to know are they closing call centers overseas or what

I doubt THEY are. These are likely outsourced by contract to 3rd party vendors. Just cancelling a contract that uses an overseas vendor and creating new positions stateside.

Anyone care about one web?

http://oneweb.world/

 

I remember somewhere in here sprint was planning on using satellites for backhaul or something like that?? In rural areas??

Interesting check out one web... Seems like sprint/SoftBank has big plans for something in 2017. 3000 jobs to one web?? Doesn't seem like a merger to me yet. Really sounds as if SoftBank has something up its sleeve.

Masa (potentially) likes Trump. I would not go so far as to say Sprint likes Trump. But they have to find a way to work with him.

It does in the grand scheme of things.

No, actually, it doesn't. Trump is a business man: he knows how mergers go. 9 times out of 10, they result in a loss of jobs, not a gain. He won't let that happen under his administration.

You may want to look a bit more into his businesses. It's not about the actual businesses, but the appearance of the businesses. Perception is yuuuge for him.

I'm not talking about his businesses. I'm talking about his goals as a president. He wants to create jobs, not get rid of them. I only refer to him being a business man because he understands how businesses work.

Here are 3 recent examples of mergers that happened, FedEx buying TNT Express in the Netherlands, no one lost there job because it was buying a company in a country where FedEx wanted to get into. But UPS was denied buying them because there would have been a loss of employment, UPS already there doing business. Example 2, Lenovo buying Motorola, there is no one there from Motorola anymore. They were all given the pink slip. Example 3: Verizon buying AOL, no one at AOL anymore. Given compensation and pink slip and all sucked into the big red void known as the Verizon universe. Mergers do not create jobs. They retain, and or cut duplicate positions out.

Gilat announced in October that they're partnering with Sprint to offer sattelite backhaul for LTE in rural and metro edge areas....I wonder if this partnership will be a conflict of interest with one web

Marcelo previously hosted a fundraiser for Hillary at his home in Miami.

If she had won, Sprint would have worked with her too.

Why do you think Son is letting Trump take credit for the $100B/50,000 jobs and now the 8,000 jobs? You'd be totally naive if you did not think that there was some serious quid pro quo, aka horse trading going on. What would Son want from Trump? Think really hard! :P

I don't think you really listened to the first announcement back a couple of weeks ago when Masa spoke after meeting with Trump. If Hillary had won, this wouldn't be happening because it would be business as usual with policies already in place by Obama. Masa had said if Hillary had won, no way he was going to be able to do what they are doing now. There is no quid pro quo, just the US is about to become a lot more business friendly and job creation.

Except Son had already announced the $100B fund in October.

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • 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
