If something happens and T-Mobile gets the $2 billion breakup fee, Sprint is in deep s**t. I don't think they could survive if that happens. As for Son, he is a smart man, but I see where you're coming from. He has put some time into building up Sprint and the network and you feel like going after T-Mobile he is giving up on Sprint. I don't think he really cares about Sprint so much. He just wants to have a company in the US so he can try and be a major player over here. If there is an announcement of a merger, I hope Sprint gets it just because I don't want to see them lose that money. Masa Son is taking a big risk but without risk there is no reward, only time will tell.

While I would love to see that happen, I have a feeling Sprint won't get the recognition of their efforts regarding their network. People will still complain their service is horrible and how it has taken Sprint this long to roll-out their LTE. We all know better here but we are the minority. As for the event, I do see where you're coming from. I think they talk some about their network progress; HD Voice; Spark and Framily. Maybe even something regarding the merger, only time will tell and that is less than 2 weeks away.

Robert, in the NV Running List for Western Washington, the current production rate is this July. Is that just regarding NV 1.0 accepted sites?

Gah... I wish I had a triband phone

From the looks of it to me there is still a big outage. I have never seen red on the map before. I have been noticing some issues all day today. I was even roaming for a good portion of the day. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon. http://downdetector.com/status/sprint/map/

So here is a question. A friend of mine stated even if Sprint buys T-Mobile, the FCC wouldn't allow them to consolidate into one entity. He gave me no real reasons except the FCC wants to keep 4 players in the game, but then wouldn't they not approve the merger? Does anyone get what he is saying?

I have a feeling we may hear something about the merger. They may "officially" announce it to the public. I also think they will give performance numbers of their network and where they are on the upgrade process.

Unlimited means you can use as much data as you want. There is no where they say that they cannot throttle you. This is basically what is happening. If user A is using a lot of bandwidth and users B, C, and D want to do something, there is less bandwidth for those 3 because A is taking up a lot of it. What Sprints new throttling plan does is throttle user A only during peak times so users such as B, C, and D can also use the network without having horrible speeds. Sprint has promised unlimited data, which means you can use any amount of data without being overcharged. While some real heavy users may notice it, they will only experience throttling during peak hours or when that specific tower is congested.
