Not my house. But I wish I had my own place. Sure would be much quieter.

I wonder if Ericsson has the biggest advantage in the NV project since Ericsson manages Sprint's network.

 

Alcatel Lucent and Ericsson both won hardware contracts with Verizon and AT&T so they already have a lot of hardware on the ground - it seems like Samsung would be the most disadvantaged. Apparently Samsung is a leader in Asia but I wonder how difficult it is for them to get going in a new market.

 

I wonder how much competition there is between the three of them in terms of deployment schedule.

 

But the work areas are not necessarily congruent for A-L & Ericsson relative to working with other carriers. For example, Ericsson is planned to do NV upgrades for Sprint in Baton Rouge; however, last summer, A-L put the LTE up for Verizon in this market.

I hate bugs and love animals. Bugs are gross.

 

I'm not an animal racist.

 

Try this parallel, Josh...

 

"I hate Eskimos and love people. Eskimos are gross.

 

I'm not a racist."

 

Really?

Bugs are invasive, therefore they must be destroyed.

You could replace "bugs" in your statement with any number of different races, ethnic groups, or religious groups and have hate speech indistinguishable from the real thing. But I have already drawn this out too long. I am just giving you a hard time, Josh, trying to get you to think critically about your own belief system. You are an "animal racist," but so are most people. You have highly inconsistent values when it comes to animals, but so do most people. That should not absolve us, however, from examining our own internal contradictions.

Ok, interesting. Never thought of it that way before. I am just going with my past experience with ants, that's all.

As funny as the banter is...this thread is getting way off topic. My unicorn contribution didn't help matters, either.

I just saw a map of what Verizon's network looked like prior to all the acquisitions.

and after

I think that this shows the potential radical change Sprint could orchestrate if it could get RCA members on board with network vision. However, instead of acquiring they will partner which will actually mean a better end result with the rural carriers continuing buildouts to satisfy underserved areas where giants like Verizon would simply ignore them.

      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.
