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.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
