S4GRU

Are you suggesting we should wait to comment about this concept and article until after it happens? Robert

This news article is from November last year. We are putting together something in the next month or so that will show all the Clearwire Expedience and WiMax Protection Site locations. We already have in our Sponsor section of S4GRU maps that show every single Sprint site in the country. If you make a donation to help support S4GRU, you will get access to those maps. Robert

I just checked the link. It appears you still can. Robert

Here is our follow up article with updated info about Customs: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-189-evo-lte-shipments-are-confirmed-delayed/ Robert

The issue is not looks, but rather: Apple strikes again. Robert

Just in time shipments/supply chain management is the way of the world now in electronics. Robert

by Robert Herron Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Tuesday, May 15, 2012 - 6:59 PM MDT Earlier today, S4GRU.com reported that shipments of the new EVO LTE are being delayed. We took a lot of heat from folks that thought we were full of it. But I had so much faith in my source that I ran the story anyway taking the shots on the chin. Not 100% sure even myself, but knew this source was solid. So I pulled the trigger and hoped it panned out. And now The Verge is reporting the cause of the delay...customs. Those sneaky bastards at Apple have apparently been able to get customs to hold the EVO LTE and the HTC One X from getting through customs. The grounds for holding the devices are due to them possibly infringing on Apple patents. Supposedly, the hold is indefinite. This may take weeks to resolve. Sprint is now taking down the Pre-Order ability on their site. However, it is possible that if the devices are not found to be in violation, that they make it back into the supply chain with just a few days delay. And it's not known if all are being held, or if some made it through. According to our internal Sprint source that told us about the delay this morning, Sprint management is meeting first thing tomorrow morning to come up with a mitigation plan and what and how they will communicate this to the public. However, now, and until further notice, Sprint employees are no longer allowed to reference the May 18th launch date. Sorry folks for being the bearer of bad news. But once again, S4GRU.com broke the story first. We just had it so early, that we didn't know all the details.

Shocking. Well, we said it first. We just had the tip of the iceberg of the story. Robert via Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

I hadn't heard about that. Post a link when you get a chance. Robert via Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

Sprint already has two sites off Teasley Lane. They will upgrade these sites to Network Vision and add LTE at that time. The big tower near the NW corner of Teasley and Ranchman is supposed to come online with LTE in Mid-June. The other one is a monopole tower on the south side of Guyer High School. It is scheduled to come online with LTE in Mid-August. Then there is another one off the I-35E Frontage near Tingley behind the Hooters scheduled for Mid August as well. Robert

They aren't ignoring Denton, or the northern burbs. Network Vision contractors are deploying on towers as backhaul comes available to them. The backhaul is not ready in Lewisville/Denton areas yet. But they will start coming online in June and run all through the summer. We keep a thread for S4GRU Sponsors where we update completed sites every week. Robert

I am. I have a problem... Robert

I went to Boston Market last Friday when I was in Albuquerque and wrecked me some chicken. Emmm, emmm, it's good! Robert

This is from November 30th of last year. Robert
