Thomas L. Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Me too. I really hope the wait for LTE in the Bay Area won't be as bad as it was for WiMax (still very limited). We're supposedly in round-one and there's not a single sign that it's coming. I hope the wait isn't bad but mostly I hope the COVERAGE is better. WiMax is a disaster in the South Bay unfortunately, the coverage is so incredibly spotty it's depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas L. Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) You don't say...who would have thought there would be permitting issues in SFO market! Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad Cartridge LOL, I thought the same thing, especially in SF proper. EIRs and NIMBY neighborhood meetings galore put a real damper on my 4G satisfaction I have no doubt the same individuals call to complain about bad coverage too. Edited May 19, 2012 by Thomas L.

avillat Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi everybody, New guy here. I'm very interested in these kind of topics, but I'm just learning. I've read a lot about the Sprint's Network Vision, but one question keeps me awake at night. What the hell happens with all the iDEN base stations that Sprint is shutting down? Do they sell them to other iDEN operators around the world? Sell them back to Motorola (for some form of recycling, maybe)? Sell them as garbage?

They don't want to just abandon all of the people on their (admittedly joke of a) 4G WiMAX network. Who knows what will happen after 2015, but I'm guessing they'll put LTE on there or just dismantle it. They could also continue the network for Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, who just announced their 4G WiMAX networks piggybacking off of Sprint's network.

MrAnderson41 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I wasn't going to ask timing questions related to my market since I'm not a premier sponsor, but since everyone else is doing it I guess I will as well. Any news on when NV will start for West Michigan, more specifically tower DE54XC801??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 The Hawaii market is not in the first two rounds of Network Vision. So it will start some time in 2013. Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikino Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks, Robert and Odell. Guess I'll be hanging onto my trusty ol' Evo 4G a little while longer when my contract is up in July. At least I'll have 4G in the meantime until we catch up with everyone. It figures Hawaii would be bringing up the rear--we've always been given back of the bus treatment by almost all companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think in this case it is just market size. For the most part only Primary WiMax markets are getting NV/LTE in 2012. Secondary markets that already have WiMax have the lowest priority it seems. Places like Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Columbus, Denver...and in your case, Hawaii.

Robert via Kindle Fire using Forum Runner That's disappointing to hear, but thanks for the insight. I was kind of hoping Hawaii or Honolulu would be sooner rather than later, since we were one of the first for Wimax under Clear, but I guess that was a completely different company and rollout strategy. Still would have been nice to get it sooner. I guess I'll be signing up for a clear contract-free hotspot to use for the infrequent occasions when I need 4G access. Might consider the new Sprint tri-fi too, since they now offer day/week/month to month plans with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
