Phonenews.com this morning is reporting The People's Operator is coming to the US market in 2015. They have opted to use the Sprint Network and have already signed the agreement.

 

The operator has already signed an agreement with Sprint to launch services on its network in 2015, while the funding for the expansion will come from a flotation of the company on the FTSE AIM stock exchange that is planned for next month. The flotation of the company on the exchange is expected to raise at least £100 million (€127 million/$161 million) with the majority of the cash raised going towards the building of the US and international launch infrastructure.

I know Sprint wants the money but Sprint has way too many MVNOs lol (I think at least).

I  totally see your point but, NV (at full build out) can handle it with ease.  I say, let Sprint make some easy money at someone else's expense; perhaps, to fund a future spectrum purchase.  Plus, shareholders will love this, thus boosting Sprint's overall value.

Sprint is not overburdened with MVNO's. They should keep the open nature of their MVNO program. I think it's a smart move. And investors love it when companies make money, so therefore, I think it's an awesome option for Sprint to have. My plans to start my own MVNO are still in the works, however, funding is my only problem.

I remember you saying you plan on starting an MVNO via Sprint some time ago; I am still looking forward to that! Consider me a customer! :)  How is your plan progressing?

      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.
