RAvirani 1,308 Posted February 8 Hi everyone, The coverage map was updated again today. It appears Sprint is displaying increased LTE coverage due to the new (more weak LTE friendly) handoff parameters for VoLTE. I didn't notice any big roaming or native coverage changes otherwise. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAvirani 1,308 Posted February 10 Actually, poking around the coverage map, I noticed that all of Sprint’s former C Sprire roaming coverage in Mississippi is native now. Is this new? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would lead to reduced revenue from roaming fees for C Spire. Accordingly, C Spire being against the merger seems pretty logical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you see a drop in Revenue that means a drop and overall income. That means less money to build out their Network or launch new services like fixed home internet services. I get they are against it. But at the same time even a reciprocating roaming agreement still puts a lot of strain on c-spire because they lose a ton of roaming Revenue as you just said.Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

red_dog007 317 Posted Wednesday at 02:47 PM (edited) Why would CSpire be shown as native coverage? I'd imagine a map error. Does Sprint have some new roaming tier that CSpire is now part of? Edited Wednesday at 02:48 PM by red_dog007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
