Verizon does not have the site density for contiguous lte in the AWS band here in metro detroit. With the speeds i'm seeing on family/friends/coworkers phones, AWS is already needed on most urban sites. After that, the lte on AWS will only be like "hotspots". Too many people are on Verizon around here. If you were to look at a coverage map of fully deployed LTE AWS on Verizon, it would look like a bunch of islands I suppose. However, Verizon is not planning to have LTE AWS working on any device by itself. It will only be deployed where LTE 750 is also already deployed. The two networks will work in tandem. Users won't notice anything, except in the beginning the AWS network will be faster because it is less burdened. Over time, the burden on 750 will go down as AWS goes up. And with network management schemes they will balance the loads as much as possible for optimum efficiency. This is the same thing Sprint will experience with TD-LTE 2600 and AT&T will with LTE WCS. And to some extent what Tmo has gone through with PCS HSPA+. Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I go to Rapid City often. It's unfortunate that Sprint does not offer native service there. You're going to have to switch carriers soon. I love Western South Dakota. I'd move there if I could find meaningful work. Robert

Nope. Using my wifes. I don't think I will ever open/reopen an EBay account ever again. Robert

Hope to see you around! Robert

FINALLY!!!! We now have the EBay auction up to Sponsor the final day of the iDEN Countdown Clock: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300923642492 Oh yeah, and you also get a lot of soon to be obsolete iDEN devices. That way EBay will leave us alone. Special thanks to azoclark who donated this lot for auction. Proceeds of this auction will go to the S4GRU Fund to pay our expenses and keep us online. We thank you in advance for contributing to S4GRU via this auction. So please bid early and often!!! Don't wait until the end, as dirving up the price is the idea. The successful winner of the auction will also get their S4GRU account credited for the amount of the winning bid, and any upgrades that would be due for the size of donation will be credited. This is a great way to move up to the Premier Sponsor level if you have been wanting to do that. Robert

SoftBank can lend as much money to the New Sprint as it wants to just by increasing its ownership share. The minority shareholders cannot stop it. However, it is unlikely SoftBank will go this route. The New Sprint will be able to borrow money at more favorable terms than Sprint Nextel ever could in the past. And with the ridding of the iDEN network cost burdens, the New Sprint balance sheets are going to look night and day better. This increase of money to shareholders only affects mid term cash on hand for upgrades, not short term (1-2 years). This will not slow down or change course any of SoftBanks's capex plans for the New Sprint. Everything is still going forward as planned on the network side without any diversions or pit stops. And the New Sprint will be sitting in a 100x better position for capex than Sprint continuing by itself or a DISH owned Sprint. This is by far the best scenario of all. Robert

The whole state has begun deployment. They are not working in ant specific area. They work on each site the moment it is ready. Over in our Sponsor section we have maps that show each site the day after it is upgraded.

I left my Franklin Covey day planner and a cup of coffee on my roof and drove away before. But never a phone. Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Great idea. I think I will use this Penguin pencil topper that my wife donated to the cause. Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I considered it. However, I figured many of our members may not want to open a new account just to bid on this item. I want to encourage bidding and was afraid ebid may discourage members from openly bidding. Robert

If this was done, I could uninstall NetMonitor and never use it again. This is the last feature that NetMonitor has that I still use. Robert

Appalachia and technology do not mix. AJ I hear that Appalachia and Mountain Dew mix quite nicely, though. Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
