Why's that? Unless your always seeing B41 then that's good.

Always B41 and or B26, can't really complain. Still though there are a few places I visit that you get stuck on useless 3G but they seem to slightly improve each year lol.

conference call at 830 AM eastern time. Here is an interesting note: last year same time, total postpaid add for the 4 carriers was almost 2 million. For the 3 carriers that already reported this year, total net postpaid add is about 0. If we extrapolate, then sprint should add about 2 million postpaid phones. However analysts only predict 50K

That isn't how that works... The other three have already reported and from that data we are able to make predictions. Many analysts are predicting gains of between 70k and 250k. There is not going to be a gain of 2 million in even the best of quarters. Sprint will most likely report a loss of about 4 cents a share on an expected $7.93 billion in revenue. They could post a gain as well and that would be a massive beat. But as for adding 2 million postpaid phones, that is way out of the question.

I'm thinking that John Legere is subtly dropping hints about a possible merger with Sprint.

 

In his video made the other day regarding 5G, he ended it by saying, "We Won't Stop". In another recent video, he ended that one by saying "You aint seen nothing yet".

 

I suppose I wouldn't mind the Sprint/T-Mobile merger so much, if it also included Dish. That certainly would make for a trifecta of uncarrier terror to the duopoly.

What Dish? The combined two would have so much spectrum they might have to give some up.

Possible but not until the equipment is tested and sent through the FCC again. Current software restriction is 10 MHz.

Oh. I'm not surprised for Vegas. I heard someone else say Jacksonville saint Augustine could since Orlando area got it. Last I heard Vegas was still just 5x5.

Hmm...In that case, Sprint be doing some swapping with Verizon up in Seattle because they've got 20MHz of PCS B Block and 20MHz C5+G (right now that is). I do know Verizon runs a 5x5 LTE carrier in the PCS C4 block that is removed from the rest of their PCS spectrum…

 

Also, when did Samsung equipment get recertified for 15x15 B25? And did the IBEZ 1900 only equipment also get recertified?

I believe it is only the RRU (RRH) that needs to be re-certified. The same RRHs were used across all Samsung markets.

It would be alot of spectrum, which is partly why I doubt Sprint and T-Mobile will be allowed to merge. However, if they are, then it'll seem as the spectrum amount won't matter. If so, then might as well try bringing Dish into the picture.

You're totally right - my bad! Have the Samsung PCS RRUs already been recertified though?

Neither those or alu is 15 MHz or 20 MHz certified.

 

Under testing.

 

That's why Columbus is running 10+ contiguous spectrum instead of a 15 MHz carrier.

Makes sense. So what you're saying is that recertification is going to happen soon along with some spectrum swapping up in Seatle?

42k net add phone customers with  the cheaper plans in the industry is not impressive at all. I think Sprint is about to hit the M&A game.

ummm wasn't Sprint calling the Airave the "magic box" since 2007?

The Airave. A personal base station for the home. This time LTE.Although the webpage doesn't show the LTE version, just says 3G.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
