Yes. But AT&T is not stupid. They wouldn't push it so far as to break the law or even their contract. But they will push it to the maximum threshold. The maximum tolerable malfeasance. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

In most places, backhaul work does not need to be permitted if it stays within existing easements and does not require a new electrical connection. Robert

I just got the first acceptance report from the Vegas market of an LTE site. The site at the 215 Beltway North and N Jones Blvd was accepted today! I don't see any blips on Sensorly, yet. But if any of you discover a signal up there on the north side of the Valley, be sure to let us know. This looks like the beginning of LTE firing up in the Vegas market. I'm kind of surprised the first one was not in Kingman or Havasu. Robert

Network Vision is underway in the East Iowa market now. Over 60 GMO sites accepted already. Full build sites will start in the next 3 -4 weeks. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

I manage government contract procurement and bidding...I know exactly what you're saying here. It's one of the worst parts of my job. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

This is great. It's the first money Sprint has ever given to the site. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

You know, that's how she operates in real life. She is the hub of her friends network. Always talking on the phone, Facebook or texting with her friends, helping them with their problems and listening. I was recently teasing her she was Tammy Faye when she was talking with my cousin (who is gay) and all of his buddies wanted to talk to her too. I don't think she appreciated being associated with Tammy Faye. I wonder why she hasn't talked to me lately. I'm sure there is no correlation. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I had so many problems with RF performance on the GNex, that your point is not brag worthy. The EVO LTE and GNex are very poor RF performers. And the GNex is way worse on 1x and EVDO than the EVO LTE. Considering both are bad RF performers, most people would rather have the EVO for the superior specs and battery life. The Sprint GNex was a seriously flawed device. I had a love/hate thing for mine. Loved vanilla android, hated nearly everything else. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

Your post is off topic. The topic is about people who are in Network Vision areas that have been upgraded, was the wait for the upgrades worth it. We do not host Sprint complaints.

You aren't crazy. The first NV sites were accepted in Abilene and San Angelo last week. Over on our Sponsor maps they show the locations. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

As long as you don't want to get with Charlie, then you're all right by me. That's the only litmus test I employ. And perhaps Entner and Moffett. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

I stop at that 7-11 at Yale and Chavez all the time. Also, I eat at the Quarters there occasionally. Not good BBQ, but convenient to my ABQ office. Anywho...Ericsson could be at the site for NV related stuff or maintenance. The ABQ market is assigned to Ericsson for both. Keep an eye out for activity. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Whether LTE 800 will be slightly useful or very useful to you depends on what type of buildings you go in and what kind of site density you have in your area. LTE 800 will not be a building penetration panacea, it will only be better than LTE 1900. LTE 800 will not work as well as CDMA 800. If you struggle with CDMA 1900 inside buildings now, then you may need LTE 800. If it works pretty good for you in most building types, then your need for LTE 800 is significantly reduced. I cannot give you definite answers. Only information to help you decide. There are just millions of variables when it comes to RF propagation and wireless network deployment schemes vary from site to site. Robert

All I know is one quick email I received from a source who said that FIT testing was under way in "MN" and they had very good LTE 800 results getting 33Mbps+ at 3 miles away. The source didn't have any more info than that. MN is Minnesota, but it's possible that it was actually Montana. Robert

LTE coverage is getting pretty darn ubiquitous in the Austin area (except for downtown). So if WiMax is not meeting your needs (which it sounds like it might not), then you may want to jump ship to a LTE device now. If you stay in urban areas most of the time, LTE 800 may not be a big deal for you. I don't think LTE 2600 will be in a place like Austin for 1-2 years anyway. And when it does, it will be one site here and one site there for capacity. You will get to upgrade again in 20 months. If you are able to ride out WiMax until late Fall when tribands are anticipated, then go for it. Another option is to upgrade now and get a WiMax hotspot for those times when you are outside of LTE coverage. Triband LTE will be nifty in many ways. But will not be useful for some time for many users, and will not be a hindrance to most users to have a LTE 1900 only device either. Robert
