The info came direct from within Sprint. The data is so voluminous, it would take 1000's of hours for the source to create the fraud. In our Sponsor section we have complete maps of every Sprint site in the country. Also, we have interactive maps showing all the sites that are complete to date in every market.
In our Premier Sponsor section we have maps showing all the NV sites being upgraded this year with schedule info. Our members are going out with these maps and verifying data. Its quite exciting to watch the deployment occur right before their eyes. I only wish I lived in a market with active deployment myself.
Sprint will likely announce a launch target for this market (and several others) as they launch Atlanta and San Antonio here in the next few weeks. I understand where you are coming from. Sprint has a lot to prove to its customers. As the saying goes, its time for them to put up or shut up.
However, Sprint is not handling the deployment themselves. In the DC market, Sprint hired Alcatel/Lucent, who has been under contract for some time. ALU and their subcontractors have spent millions getting the market ready and mobilizing. They have been there since March getting things ready and have started converting sites. There is no turning back now. The ship has sailed.
All that being said, if Sprint runs into cash flow problems, they will slow down Network Vision. But most likely in markets they are just about to start, not ones already mobilized.
