    I side with VZW on this one.  Perma roaming on LTEiRA partners is not okay.  Those subs should be signed up directly with the LTEiRA partners that they are using nearly 100 percent of the time.

    I think that LTEiRA partner in Washington County does not sell services directly. It just builds and operate the network for Verizon 

  2. They are looking to deploy a build to suit network for critical infrastructure with the LTE. I think PTT is a short-term plan for them until they can get it done through an NPRM. 

     

    I don't quite understand. So, they basically building a LTE network similar to FirstNet.

  3. In a lot of rural areas that TMobile needs spectrum, they have to compete with those local rural broadcasters like CSpire and USCC in the reserved spectrum.  AT&T also gets to bid on that in a lot of places as well.  So it may not be so cheap for TMobile.  I expect them to fill in as much as possible, but if the high prices continue, I think TMobile will be lucky to get a single block in all the markets they won't be able to acquire a 700A license in.

    ​Not sure what AT&T will do.  They just bought DirecTV and are now committed to deploying FTTH/FTTP to 12 million residents.  They have actually be very active out in my neck of the woods in my rural area.  Then I'd imagine they would be more interested in getting the remaining AWS3.  They won really big and can possibly get even more once the forfeited AWS3 goes back for auction. It will also be a heck of a lot cheaper I am sure in acquiring Dish's 700E block.  AT&T and VZW are past the point of needing low band to maximize coverage.  They are at the point where they just need capacity. 

    ​I have a feeling this is just going to bust if the wild cards like Comcast and Dish do not participate.

     

    I think AT&T and VZ are in the auction mainly to prevent T-Mobile from walk away with huge amount of spectrum dirt cheap.

  4. This is my experience too. Sometimes cannot get any 1x data on Verizon, just SMS and voice only. Highly variable, sometimes from one tower to the next. But I have not seen any Verizon roaming in Washington or Idaho. Just Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska on my travels.

    I wasn't able to get any Verizon roaming in Washington. Maybe Google somehow geo restricted the roaming.

  5. Yeah I know. I commented on that, as well as adding in the number porting issues from wholesalers cause that is supposed to be hell too. Either im lucky, our the people at my store actually know what they are doing.

     

    Yes. It really depends on how store manager's knowledge. One store I visit know that issue and quickly solved my problem. The other store just tell me it is not possible.
