    As they say in The Lone Ranger "What you mean 'We' Kiemosabe?"

    Isn't the TMUS/MPCS deal going to make the combined company publicly listed, and DT will just be a large shareholder? Then DT can just slowly sell off their TMUS/MPCS shares. So DT already has an exit strategy. They don't have to sell it all off at once now.

    What other PCS spectrum does Spring have in this market? Could they have put up a 10x10 LTE here?

    Part of the problem might be "buffer bloat". Instead of dropping packets, and thus throttling back on upload or download speed, in a timely manner so devices share the internet equally, router buffers fill up in increase latency before dropping packets. Thus things like Skype or web surfing, where latency is more important that having a LOT of bandwidth.

    So the question becomes, with 14Mhz of spectrum, would Sprint opt to add a 1.4x1.4 LTE carrier after they drop the 1xA carrier, or would they refarm to something like a pair of 3x3 LTE carriers on ESMR? Too bad you can't do a 7x7 carrier on LTE....

    Maybe in this case, they'd refarm the ESMR so they had a pair of 3x3 LTE carriers, instead of 5x5 LTE and a 1xA (1.25x1.25). How big do the guard bands need to be?

    I don't think they would, that's exactly my point. Even in 10 years when all the new phones are doing VoLTE, dropping the 1xA carrier on ESMR won't give them enough additional spectrum to enlarge their 5x5 LTE carrier on ESMR. My guess is that this would be the very last CDMA carrier that Sprint will get rid of.

    Given the size of Sprint's 800 Mhz spectrum holdings (they can't fit MORE than a 5x5 LTE carrier there, even if they got rid of the 1xA carrier), I don't know why they'd be in any hurry to get rid of the 1xA carrier on 800Mhz.

    I know that's the case in the Brookings/Sioux Falls area of SD, as that is run by an affiliate(Swiftel), but the "dakotas" market also includes Western Minnesota, Basically everything from Alexandria west.

    I saw that there wasn't a network vision thread for the Dakotas market yet. So I might as well get it rolling. Rep at the sprint store told me they heard work will be starting in the Fargo area July 1st. Alexandria area will also be starting this summer. And I think someone in the Minnesota thread mentioned some backhaul is being done in the Fergus Falls area.
