Trip Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Interesting note in here:https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10326217025032/March 26 Sprint Ex Parte.pdf Sounds like they're trying to get the EBS licensing changed to better utilize the 2.5 GHz band. - Trip 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish can borrow against it, that perceived value is built into their stock price and it is built into any calculation of any prespective buyer of the company. Value is subjective. Right now, nobody is moving to acquire the spectrum. Dish has not borrowed against it. The perceived value of their spectrum will fall further once these other bands are opened up.

That will put further demand on wireless networks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Softbank just signed a $200 billion deal with Saudi Arabia for solar panels. Not really telecom related but still wanted to post because it is Softbank. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-28/saudi-arabia-softbank-ink-deal-on-200-billion-solar-project 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnygATL Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The key takeaway is that Sprint is launching massive MIMO NEXT MONTH. Did ya'll catch that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnner1999 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 http://newsroom.sprint.com/sprint-magic-ball.htm [emoji3]It’s cute yes and fun But I think it sends a mixed message. Especially if the actual densification portion is accurate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It would be amazing if Sprint was able to finally fire up 256QAM+4x4MIMO on most Sprint B41 equipment and also some basic level of Massive MIMO in April. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnygATL Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Just what we already discussed. The launch of massive MIMO in cities like Atlanta (where I live). It's just awesome that it's finally coming to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesinclair Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 When and why did Sprint stop doing international unlock? Thats a huge downgrade in their international services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
