marioc21 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Looks like Sprint and Dish can work together on occassion. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-17/sprint-dish-work-together-to-test-a-wireless-internet-service.html?cmpid=yhoo Press release: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sprint-dish-trial-fixed-wireless-140000051.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Excellent. Hopefully they soon release the $$$ part of this agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I want A LOT more details. Makes me wonder if more negotiations are going on. Like a network hosting deal. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceopwong Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 You beat me to the punch on the posting. I am not sure how this relationship will work out hopefully well for both parties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamisonshaw125 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Sprint is trying to take over all of the U.S. Verizon and AT&T better watch out, Sprint is going to come knocking on their doorstep pretty soon. Excitement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro I would say a hosting deal is in the works because DISH just got thwarted on their upcoming 1900 H block deal that analysts were believing DISH was going to be the only suitor after Sprint and T-mo announced they were bailing. As a result, I am guessing DISH just realized the timeline just got shorter to implement their current spectrum portfolio! Patrick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geesmill Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Sounds good if it gets some un-used spectrum fired up and utilized. Another player would be nice in the access business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDD Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I am a little worried. Seems to me that Sprint and SoftBank are trying to expand way to quickly. I would like them to finish 1 of their projects before starting another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMrFamous07 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 So let's say if dish and sprint work out a spectrum hosting deal...does that mean sprint will have access to Dish's spectrum too? I have a feeling sprint and dish are trying to get as much spectrum as they can possibly can (tmobile, lightsquared, H block, 600mhz etc) and then possibly share the amount of spectrum. I do remember SoftBank Son saying he's opened to working with dish after the acquisition of sprint and clearwire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMrFamous07 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 And if sprint can get x amount of billions from dish for a hosting deal they should do it despite dish trying to ruin the softbank/sprint deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owners have lots of ideas, and those are funneled through others and the trickle down effect continues to the work, don't worry about it.

GinaDee Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 This is a typical Gary Forsee move. Keep dabbing into everything at the same time but never finish anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMrFamous07 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 2014 is supposedly sprints comeback year They will make a bid for tmobile and sign a spectrum hosting deal with dish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about the furthest thing from a Gary Forsee move. NV is a project which is moving along with staff, money, and scheduled assigned to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you're so behind, it's better to not just have Plan A and B, but also to have plan G and F. When you set your eyes on many acquisitions, especially for Sprint, it's setting the foundation for a stronger network. Your foundation has to be strong to be able to compete with the big 2. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koiulpoi Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Seriously? This is about the furthest thing from a Gary Forsee move. NV is a project which is moving along with staff, money, and scheduled assigned to it. Indeed! I have noticed around here, and in many technical forums, people seem to think that co-oping with other companies and hiring new people for new projects means that in-progress projects are being abandoned or slowed down - that if those resources were instead allocated to other projects, they'd be done faster! After all, if it takes one man a day to dig a hole, it'll take 24 men an hour to dig that hole, and 86,400 men only a second! (or, said even better, it'll take 9 women 1 month to have a baby) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like you said "Your foundation has to be strong", Why spread yourself out so thin that if you have a problem in one area you cannot fix it as quickly. Just look at the Romans (going into history), they got to be to big for their own good. Verizon and ATT will both fail on their own, Sprint does not have to beat them, Sprint needs to just keep a good quality of service and stay competitive in the market. Sprint is going at a nice steady pace right now. It is looking like they are trying a shotgun approach and I don't think that is smart in the infancy of the new network.

S4GRU Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 This is a typical Gary Forsee move. Keep dabbing into everything at the same time but never finish anything. NV 1.0 is nearing completion. Whatever. This is just a negative platitude. If you're here just to troll, you will lose your privelleges. It's getting to the point that every one of your posts is a Sprint bash. That would make you a troll. If you don't like Sprint, why do you hang out in Sprint forums? We can help correct your course if you're lost. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dave Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Anything to challenge AT&T and especially Comcast is good as far I am concerned. The state of wired Internet access in this country is horribly anti-consumer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I would be surprised if it is unlimited though. With the number of ISP's that have gone with monthly caps, I would be surprised if they allowed an all you can eat approach for a wireless solution. But it should be far more generous than Verizon LTE ISP. Robert via Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
