Sounds like a shady company.

Shady? Hardly. They're in the middle of a billion+ $ railway expansion. The issue is over how much Sprint think their share of the relocation costs are.

Share of the relocation costs? That would be 100%. The big issue is if the amount was agreed upon prior to work being done. If not then Sprint will have to prove that the amount that they are suing for is justifiable.

Because Sprint is not the owner of the ROW, just a leaser from AAF, AAF doesn't need to pay Sprint 100%, though a good landlord should at least provide some financial help for moving the utilities in question.

So doesn't that mean the whole lawsuit is pointless?

Um...let's follow the money.

 

Brightline is a higher-speed rail system under construction in Florida. It is being developed by All Aboard Florida, a wholly owned subsidiary of Florida East Coast Industries (FECI

 

Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) is Florida’s oldest and largest commercial real estate, transportation, and infrastructure holding company.

 

FECI was purchased in 2007 by equity funds managed by Fortress Investment Group, LLC.

 

 

The private equity parent of Coral Gables-based Florida East Coast Industries is getting a new owner, which means that the Brightline Miami-to-Orlando passenger train project is as well.

 

New York-based hedge fund Fortress Investment Group (NYSE: FIG) announced earlier this week that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Tokyo, Japan-based SoftBank Group Corp.

There's probably a contract covering what costs each party is responsible for. The issue is probably on cost overruns, which might not be dealt with the contract. There are a number of contingencies that Sprint might feel like AAF is responsible for. So to court it goes.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
