I was in that hotel shortly after it opened. I think it was 1989 or 1990. It was an office building that was converted into a hotel. It was the nicest hotel in Connecticut when it opened. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I didn't notice that until you posted it. That's pretty sweet. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Cannot say enough thanks for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. And thanks to all of you who serve and who have served. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

This was fixed in the newest Tapatalk extensions I installed last weekend. So it now works in all versions. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Clear as day. 3 RRU's per sector. Good job! Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Link doesn't work for me. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Hmmm. Good idea. But never have seen that. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Yep. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Notice it says 3G. The 4G was a typo that I corrected right away. But the thread notifications came out saying 4G. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

First site accepted in ABQ yesterday. 2nd near Menaul. 3G only accepted first. The Duke City is moving! Robert

First off, LTE is usable to a full 10dBm weaker than WiMax. WiMax performance started to die off at -82dBm RSSI, LTE at -93dBm RSSI. That gives a significant edge right there. Additionally, with 60-100Mbps speeds on a 20MHz channel, even a weak TD-LTE signal is going to still run pretty darn fast, and probably faster than Sprint LTE 1900. Do not assume LTE will be the same as WiMax on the same frequency. Second, in urban areas (and most suburban areas), Sprint's site spacing is way tighter than PCS. Sprint has made their network much denser than PCS requires for capacity sake...a long time ago. Third, Sprint will get the entire Clearwire network. Although they will likely shutdown all the redundant sites after WiMax is slated to be taken down in a few years, it gives thousands of opportunities to shore up coverage within Sprint's footprint should there be gaps of TD-LTE coverage in important areas. Fourth, small cells. Sprint will deploy TD-LTE small cells to shore up important gap areas and inside popular buildings/venues. Wherever needed. Fifth, those with tri-band devices will have an uneven experience after even all this. But to have screaming fast LTE when outside, near windows, near TD-LTE sites, near small cells and then have very good LTE 1900 speeds almost every where you go, and then fall back to LTE 800 when going deep into buildings, basements and far at the edge of coverage. Sounds heavenly. Sign me up. The only advantage that VZW would have is when deep in a building you MAY have faster service. However, in my area, VZW LTE has dropped to 1-4Mbps at peak times. I hear of these 40-60Mbps VZW speeds, but I have never seen them. This is going to make Sprint more than just competitive. AT&T and VZW are scared, because they've never had to compete on this level before. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Wow, he looks like a bad Austin Powers impersonator. I think I saw him at a tourist attraction in Branson handing out coupons. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I have found that the Galaxy Note 2 and LG Optimus G have the best RF performance in my usage and testing. I would say that the Galaxy S3 is also very good. I hear anecdotal reports that the GS4 is similar, but I have not experienced it myself. The Motorola Photon Q is pretty good, but seems to have lots of little bugs about losing data connection that are annoying. But probably the best phone I've ever tested is the Samsung Victory LTE. It is a non flagship phone, but works very well. The HTC EVO LTE should be avoided for those who desire/require top notch RF performance. I hear that the HTC One is much improved over the EVO, but probably not as good as the new Samsungs or LGs. Just a couple years ago, Samsung and LG devices were the worst for RF performance and HTC was the best. So things can change from year to year and model to model. So we should probably avoid making any sweeping characterizations about OEM's and RF performance. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I don't think divestment will be required. There is a way to insulate that position from their Japanese owners, and I believe the precedent for that already exists with other telecoms. Why was no one concerned over Vodafone and their reach into the backbone and ILECS? Do we value Anglo skinned allies more than yellowish skinned? This is rubbish, IMHO.

Hatch green chile, though, yum. But Chimayo red chile still has the upper hand. AJ Yes, I definitely prefer Chimayó red over Hatch green. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Ashland Kentucky is in a nTelos market, I believe. nTelos is not an affiliate of Sprint, but rather an independent company that sells Sprint native service in the area. The nTelos network is not receiving Sprint Network Vision upgrades in the way Sprint corporate and affiliate markets are. nTelos is keeping it's 3G service as is, and will start adding a LTE layer for Sprint customers near the end of 2013 and into 2014. We do not have much information about nTelos plans at this time. But their upgrades are not imminent. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Well we know for certain which Senators can be bought on both sides of the aisle. I'm thankful I have no love for Hatch and Schumer, so I will not feel betrayed. It's racism to say you're concerned about a Japanese company because of the mere fact they are Japanese. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

The Dakotas market is Sprint native and not related to the Swiftel Affiliate market in Eastern South Dakota and Sioux City, IA. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk
