The $1.4b loss included approx $680M in accelerated depreciation attributed to shutting down the Nextel portion of the operation. This charge reflects favorably on results from continuing operations. Sprint also revised its full year operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) guidance upward by $600 million to $900 million.

Wouldn't you think one of the "Big Boy" sites with access to their preview units would do some checking to see if it appears that the "647" patent was infringed?

When I was at the Sprint Advocates Group Event last September it was stated that the environmental movement within the Sprint/Nextel organization is driven by Dan Hesse personally. The eco-friendly devices are a small part of Sprint's efforts that include: alternative energy sources, environmentally friendly marketing materials, device buyback or possibly trade-in programs (goal is to recover 9 devices for every 10 devices sold by 2017), and other internal programs designed to reduce, reuse, recycle e-waste generated by Network and IT departments.

AJ, Is this the "break through" technology Ericsson was talking up last year? DD

Wow! The knowledge on this site amazes me. Thanks

I didn't intend that Sprint be included in "they". I know about Sprint's efforts to make the most of what they have. I don't know of any efforts by Verizon and ATT to maximize the use of their holdings. In fact while crying for the feds to release more spectrum Verizon is saying they have plenty without having to refarm http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Verizon-Weve-Got-Plenty-of-Spectrum-Thanks-118417

Much has been written about Network Vision and its components. Multi Modal towers, 1x Advanced, DO Advanced, LTE etc. So Sprint isn't just rolling out LTE, in fact it has been stated that NV technology will make Sprint's network future proof. We know that Sprint will spend in excess of $7 billion on this massive project that will help maximize the efficient use of its spectrum holdings. Verizon and ATT are currently building out their LTE networks and while doing so they are touching almost every one of their towers. Does anyone know if they are doing anything to help maximize their current spectrum holdings? This question is a result of reading an article on Broadband Convergent. http://www.broadbandconvergent.com/news/mobile-operators-creating-artificial-demand-capacity Should a Wireless Network Operator show that the company is maximizing its efforts to use spectrum in a most efficient manner before being allowed to participate in future auctions?

It has been my experience that the tower location apps do not work well for cdma based networks. At least I have not found one that works.

I guess the term I was searching for is frequency reuse.

The larger capacities are achieved through frequency (spectrum) sharing?
