  4. Note that New Sprint is a holding company, and the Sprint brand survives as is. For now... Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner
  5. On the original schedule, it would have been more than six months from now. However, Sprint has been shaking up the 3rd and 4th rounds a lot. So it may be sooner now than originally planned. But even with schedules changes, it is not likely to be before the end of the year. And there is no guarantee that the LCV market will improve its position in the changes.

  6. You were not relying on your signal strength indicator to determine signals, right? http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2040-bars-lie-for-lte-signal-strength-how-to-determine-your-actual-lte-signal-strength/ Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner

  8. by Robert Herron Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Monday, October 15, 2012 - 2:39 AM MDT Japanese mobile carrier SoftBank and Sprint Nextel formally announced a new venture called "New Sprint" that includes the foreign carrier taking a 70% stake in Sprint. The $20 Billion deal was revealed in the middle of the pre-dawn morning here in the United States as it was timed to be better for the business day where the event announcement was held in Tokyo. The stage was co-hosted by SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and Sprint CEO Dan Hesse. Notably absent in remarks during the announcement or from the Press Releases is clarity for the outcome of Clearwire. There has been speculation about how Clearwire would shake out of this deal. Clearwire's fate is not yet, clear (sorry for the pun). Some believe that Sprint will take it's large cash infusion from SoftBank and purchase Clearwire outright to make their spectrum apart of the SoftBank/Sprint long term strategy. Formally in the Press Release, it says that Sprint is not required to take any action. But the door is left open that they indeed could do that with proceeds. The boards of both SoftBank and Sprint have approved the transaction. The deal is anticipated to close in Mid 2013 and will be subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. It seems to us that regulatory approval in the U.S. should be relatively easy. Japanese companies have not received the scrutiny that Chinese companies have in the past. Most often citing security concerns. The New Sprint will stay headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas and Dan Hesse will stay on as the CEO of the new venture. Only three existing Sprint board members will be on the new 10 person New Sprint board. S4GRU Members have been discussing this in our forums for the past week since the rumors first surfaced that SoftBank and Sprint were in talks. The Press Release with more details is below:

  13. Based on the speeds and the signal strength on Sensorly, I would guess your signal that you experienced at this site was coming from a different site. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner

  16. I change devices all the time. It's a pain to change from WiMax to LTE devices. It usually involves a phone call or a chat session with a Sprint CSR. Some people don't have an issue with it, but i do. However, a WiMax to WiMax change or LTE to LTE change you can do online easily. Just sign into your account, and then on your page where it displays your account devices, select the drop down button and hit the activate new device. Easy to do. I do it several times per week.
