For little more than the cost of a decent lunch in DC, you can help feed a non profit web site for the next six months. AJ

A Nickel for your thoughts... AJ

I do not know what the ho economic situation is like in your area. But in my market, $10 will not get you pleasure. That will set you back at least $15. AJ

That hardly covers every T-Mobile market. And it is not usable in many major markets until UHF channel 51 is shut down, which will happen in conjunction with the 600 MHz auction. AJ

Let me paraphrase a famous aphorism. Fool me for one year, shame on you. Fool me for a dozen years, shame on me. Why put up with as you see it "Sprint's utter ineptitude over the previous 12 years"? You have at least partly yourself to blame. Why would you stay? If it is because of credits, perks, discounts, or other enticements, then you have accepted the Faustian bargain. And you have to assume some personal responsibility for that. AJ

Some AT&T markets -- Miami, Dallas, San Antonio -- and some VZW markets -- Phoenix, Cleveland, Omaha -- are going to be in that position just about forever. Barring a technological breakthrough, regulatory shakeup, or nuclear war, AT&T and VZW are going to hold dominant 50 MHz contiguous low band spectrum positions plus huge head starts in mature network deployment and subscriber acquisition in those dual license Cellular 850 MHz markets. All other comers are just competing for second place. AJ

No other operator can come close to AT&T in Miami. AT&T has both Cellular 850 MHz licenses for 50 MHz of contiguous low band spectrum. Plus, it got to cherry pick the best sites or retain all sites from AT&TWS' and BellSouth' two already mature Cellular 850 MHz networks. Competing against that in Miami is just not a fair fight. Going forward, Sprint has the second best spectrum position in Miami, since it has low band spectrum for both CDMA1X and LTE. VZW cannot match that, as it has low band spectrum for only LTE. The same largely holds true for T-Mobile. It has loads of mid to high band spectrum in Miami, but it will not have usable low band spectrum until sometime after the 600 MHz auction -- in other words, it will be a few years. And even then, T-Mobile will never have low band spectrum for W-CDMA, only LTE. AJ

jwang, you need to go back and edit your posts. You cannot, for example, refer to 3 GB as "3g data." That is not an accepted convention, and far too many readers are going to misinterpret it. So, please fix the missing "GB" notations. AJ

Go East, young man. AJ

T-Mobile had to go back and fix the fine print: "2.5 GB data per line/month until 1/2/16; then 1GB data per line." Somebody must have wet his magenta panties with excitement, failed to proofread, and jumped the gun. AJ

There seems to be some discrepancy in the fine print. "10GB data per line/month until 1/2/16; then 1GB data per line." That would indicate 10 GB per line, then 1 GB per line, but it hardly seems plausible. What is the accurate data allocation? AJ

Tammy obviously reads The Wall at S4GRU from time to time. When I was the first to confirm on air Sprint LTE 800 with my spectrum analyzer last December, Tammy cited my article and wrote a similar article a few weeks later. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-358-sprint-scores-an-800-on-the-lte/ http://www.fiercewireless.com/tech/story/sprints-800-mhz-lte-rollout-gaining-momentum-says-report/2013-12-30 AJ

If the handset is connected to the 4G core through LTE or eHRPD, it maintains the same IP address assignment -- regardless of airlink. If the handset falls back to EV-DO, the IP address assignment is different. Any IP address specific services will be interrupted and need to be reinitiated. AJ

If the handset, for whatever reason, cannot connect to the 4G core over LTE or eHRPD, then it falls back to EV-DO. But, otherwise, eHRPD and EV-DO are the very same airlink. AJ

Do not ask others here to give you sponsor level info. If you are not a sponsor, then you do not get that perk. AJ

Sorry, I am a little more old fashioned than that... AJ

So, if I have one line on T-Mobile, one line on Sprint, does that mean "one in the pink, one in the stink"? AJ

Domo arigato. AJ

You are required to explain this animated GIF. Does the guy have a massive turd sticking out of his tie? AJ

Wait, what spectrum analyzer? I am starting to feel jealous about my role at S4GRU. AJ

No, I do not want to read the comments. Please summarize what has been said. If I read the comments and they say what I expect they say, then I might just jump out the window -- like the animated GIF above -- even though my house is only two stories tall. AJ
