  1. New York City (NYC/Westchester/Lower Hudson Valley) Status: LTE Launched/NV Substantially Complete/Difficult Sites Remaining NV Sites Accepted = 95% LTE Sites Accepted = 92% LTE Launched = October 31, 2013 (Bronx & Brooklyn launched 7/24/2013) Original Scheduled Completion = May 2013 Substantial Completion = January 2016
  2. I can tell you it is happening before 2014. And we are going to write detailed articles about it. I will listen to the audio when I get home from church. And then I will PM you something real Sarge. My documents are better than anything Sprint says. Because my documents show what Sprint is saying to each other, not what they mention to the public.

  7. I have Verizon for work and Sprint for personal. I have been on VZW for work just over a year now. Used to be AT&T for work before that. Robert - Posted from my E4GT with ICS using Forum Runner
  8. Shentel is a Sprint affiliate. Its a private company that pays Sprint to use its network/spectrum and name. Sprint only has two affiliates left. Shentel (in your area) and Swiftel (in S. Dakota). For the most part, Shentel is a good affiliate that provides superior performance in its rural and tertiary markets than Sprint does. Also, Shentel will have a mostly fiber backed network with NV/LTE. Robert - Posted from my E4GT with ICS using Forum Runner
  9. They will start losing customers starting this weekend. Every LTE smartphone sold now will be at the loss of Clearwire. Sprint pays Clearwire now a monthly fee for every WiMax device activated. Clearwire has enjoyed a guaranteed revenue stream from Sprint with every WiMax device sold. Now with LTE devices, WiMax device sales are going to plummet. And thus, revenues to Clearwire from these Sprint devices. Robert - Posted from my E4GT with ICS using Forum Runner
  10. Yes indeed. And to compensate for rainfade, they have to make higher frequency links shorter and shorter distances. Robert - Posted from my E4GT with ICS using Forum Runner

  12. Very observant!!!! That almost looks like Sprint is counting Swiftel in its LTE coverage area by the end of NV. Maybe they are cooking something up? But oddly, Sprint is confirmed working with Shentel with NV/LTE, and yet the Shentel area is not shaded in. Maybe Sprint is going to buy out Swiftel after all? Now there is a rumor if you ever heard one! Robert
  13. It looks like the very first Norfolk market 4G LTE sites will go live around the end of June. And then it will be steady deployment over the whole market non stop for months. We are posting maps in our Premier Sponsor section that shows nearly every First and Second Round site where you can click on it and look at the NV schedule for that site. Robert
  14. Yeah, I guess I played out that expression today, eh? Robert
  15. This is a Shentel area. Shentel has big NV plans and is already underway. Shentel will be completely done with NV in mid 2013. No need to be so pessimistic. You'll fare a lot better than most other similar types of areas. Robert
  16. We last updated our NV Live Sites Map on 4/7. There were approx. two dozen live sites in the DC/BWI area then. I am expecting another update in the next day or so. Robert
  17. The answer why is financial. Right, wrong or indifferent. Sprint is banking on getting the network down to 38,000 sites. However, in my opinion, there are less than 1,000 iDEN sites that Sprint would need to keep. Ideally, Sprint should convert these 1,000 sites to Sprint CDMA/LTE in Network Vision to expand and fill in coverage holes. Louisiana would be one of the chief areas impacted for the good with my Nextel conversion plan. This really is the only noteworthy negative comment I have on Sprint and Network Vision. It is a huge missed opportunity. Robert
