circling back to the emphasis on Apple... What if Marcelo and Son were able to get Apple (and IBM, as IBM and Apple are now in a huge partnership for business) to bring or add Sprint into a new iPad that has Spark in it. AND Apple/IBM can market free data to those new business customers... would sort of tie into place with how Sprint said its getting back into Business more???

It would pick up a bunch of press.

I dont think apple really cares about end users contact length. As long as phones are sold. Im still fixated on this being a dish/apple tv gig.

Id hope that - that would be part of the changes. But id totally understand why he wouldn't. Better to deliver it rather than talk about it.

I'm reading the tea leafs and well what do you folks think of this wild and crazy idea.... OK so in the leaked info Marcelo said on his first day he met with Apple. The more realistic angle is maybe Sprint never paid for its last promise when Sprint 1st nabbed the iPhone (I can't believe that is true but...) or maybe Sprint will do the same deal again with the iPhone "6" to secure supply!? OR Why would Apple's CEO meat with Sprint? What if Charlie and Marcelo have a plan to merge AND with the issues Apple is having with Comcast on its rummored AppleTV... maybe the Duo got Tim to meet as they had a plan to bring AppleTV to the majority of the US Market where as Comcast only reaches what a 1/3? okay like I said its one of my way out there ideas....

I have a feeling, sooner maybe monday. And then Tuesday's event im thinking is a vendor partner show.

Wouldn’t that make 4 main LTE bands then? i’m not saying its a bad idea…

That and I suspect some Yellow fear in him ;-) yeah Sprint’s Network is “crap” BUT it is better than the 2g in more places of TMO… And if this Beast of a CEO get motivate the engineers to bring NV2.0 up faster then it will be much closer to AT&T - and that must scare John! since I’m into stupid movie quotes I thought this was fitting… from an amazing movie! Skip to 1m15s….

On mark! Remember, what's worse than a set of steak knifes [emoji12] it should be a given, but just in case — NSFW

Come on, you cant kick dad.

Good or bad it is free marketing Real question is did john just open Pandora box?

I havnt noticed any more GorDon ads on tv this week....

I think on the 19th Marcelo should come on stage wearing a camel or tan jacket with a yellow tshirt

nothing really new here but... http://www.thestreet.com/story/12844961/1/sprint-may-cut-prices-launch-iphone-6-promotion-under-new-ceo.html

this article is pretty spot on.... is he a member here :-) http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/lowensteins-view-memo-new-sprint-ceo-how-turn-things-around/2014-08-14

Dito... Hopefully its more than the leaked info last night on Sprint going hard into business accounts.

Okay sorry about my last post. Honest :-)

I'm curious if the "lack" urgency in areas overlapped with better known TMO coverage. I mean why invest in an area that could be "fixed" with the merger. Not saying that was a bad idea IF true.

Throwing money at a problem typically only makes the problem more distant.

inquiring minds wanna know :-)

Typically I'd say its best to "wait" for a better plan (no pun intended) BUT hopefully Thursday He announces some of the changes at the meeting...

My bad -- for some reason I thought those figures were in the Sponsored area.

has this been posted yet? also it seems some leaks from here?!?! http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/New-Sprint-CEO-Hints-at-Job-Cuts-Outlines-Vision-Thursday-130042

Seems TMO is securing a nice 700MHz network http://www.phonedog.com/2014/08/12/t-mobile-snaps-up-more-700mhz-spectrum/

Thanks for the info! I suspect apple will wait till next year... Unless maybe the extra battery in the larger iPhones can offset the power consumed. Typically Apple likes to wait...
