    I did not know that "600" stands for "GDP." I also did not know that wireless operators do not presently have spectrum with which to generate higher GDP. AJ

    Stage 2, we hardly knew you. http://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/stage-2-incentive-auction-ends-after-a-single-round-generates-only-21-5b-bids Bonanza is turning into bust. AJ

    Nothing quite like a backhanded compliment from Roger Cheng. Really. Totally serious. Believe it or not. https://www.cnet.com/news/sprint-customers-are-returning-in-droves-really/ AJ

    It's Shake 'n Bake. And I helped! AJ

    This is the quickest question to answer. Band class 1 in 3GPP2 standards is limited to the traditional PCS A-F blocks. CDMA2000 operations in the PCS G block require band class 14. Sprint dabbled with the idea of band class 14, but it could have necessitated replacing all CDMA2000 devices on the network, not to mention, being the only major operator using band class 14. AJ

    Nope. That is an official S4GRU market deployment thread. AJ

    And we have a four year old market thread for that. Why not use it instead of starting a new thread? http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2182-network-visionlte-riversidesan-bernardino-market-inland-empire/ AJ

    This does not strike me as unusual. I have seen many a bog standard iPhone TV commercial that brandishes a specific operator logo right at the end, as if the iPhone or a certain iPhone feature is available only on that operator. AJ
  9. WiWavelength
    No. As others have posted, band 25 deployment outside of the PCS G block is highly market or even site dependent. We have individual market deployment and additional carrier/EARFCN threads to discuss these vagaries. So, we probably will not continue this discussion as an omnibus. Please direct research and questions to those resources. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-27-spectrum-analysisdoes-sprint-have-more-options-for-additional-lte-carriers/ http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-394-columbus-8640-the-age-of-10-mhz-fdd-discovery/ http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5454-network-vision-and-spark-earfcn-logging-thread/ http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6891-b25-2nd-carrier-info/ AJ

    This is such an honor. I'd like to thank my publicist, who is a beautiful human being. And that's everyone. AJ

    Who is buying those ads? It may be VZW. AJ

    No, the Cleveland Cavaliers will win the first pick in the drawing. AJ

    The hardware has to support 4x4 MIMO or 256-QAM to achieve 600 Mbps over 3x CA. But neither 4x4 MIMO nor 256-QAM is listed in the specs. AJ

    How do you know it is not? AJ
  15. WiWavelength
    You can harbour hope that Sprint will carry the Pixel XL, but realise that the final cost will be the same. AJ

    Google's end game is not necessarily to sell high volumes. With recent Nexus handsets, that has not been the case. Google and its OEM partners seem content with niche market share. AJ
  17. WiWavelength
    VZW likely paid for the exclusive. And Google did advertise the Nexus 5X. So, this does not seem like much of a change in strategy, just a change in name. AJ
  18. WiWavelength
    Stop with the subsidising. Get off the dole, you wanker. Then, buy on the High Street any unlocked handset you fancy. AJ
  19. WiWavelength
    How does the loss of only two OTA physical channels drop the target by over $30 billion? That 114 MHz seems like too much spectrum for too little money. AJ
  20. WiWavelength
    Can't take a punt on this one subsidised? Feck! That's bollocks. AJ
  21. WiWavelength
    No, I am not a "selective reader/listener." You have presented no evidence of that. Instead, I am just the opposite -- a voracious consumer of information. And perhaps I have "an answer for everything you throw at [me]" because I possess a high intelligence, vast body of knowledge, keen grasp of reason and argument, and strong set of writing skills. I have the intellectual upper hand. That is why I win. AJ

    What the hell are you talking about? What relevance do "grandfathered customers that have been with Sprint for 5+ years" have to this issue? This clearly is an effort close to Marcelo's heart. He was going to do it whether Sprint's CAPEX was highest or lowest. And this philanthropy is not imposing any opportunity cost on CAPEX. So, drop that argument. Sheesh, you act as if Sprint is diverting serious attention away from day to day business in order to support this charity. Not necessary. You do realize that quote is sarcastic. It does not suit your point/agenda. AJ
  23. WiWavelength
    This philanthropic effort has no effect on Sprint's network CAPEX and upgrade progress. Apples and oranges. Nachos and karate. Additionally, the giveaway is not a Mobile Beacon type situation -- "unlimited" data under outdated contract terms. No, it is limited data of 3 GB per month. That restricts users from putting much of a dent in the Sprint network. And any goodwill gained can be counted as an asset. By the way, I saw that someone called you out in the Sprint subreddit. You were so unhappy with your service that you ported out from Sprint. Yet, for whatever reason, you cannot look away. Maybe I just should make this my signature file quote... AJ
  24. WiWavelength
    Placebo effect. Or some other variables. The Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note 7 have the same processor, same RAM, etc. The Galaxy S7 edge even has a larger capacity battery -- and one that does not explode so often. AJ
  25. WiWavelength
    Why? Samsung Galaxy S7 series handsets are not fire prone, are not part of the recall. The Galaxy S7 edge now is Samsung's North American flagship and a reasonable Galaxy Note 7 substitute. AJ
