    Non PCS/AWS-2 H block mobiles are going to continue to be offered for years. Refarming the PCS G block to combine it with the H block would potentially wipe out LTE for many of those non H block mobiles. Sprint would not do that for several years after the H block auction. AJ

    Please go back and read my previous posts (from this very thread): AJ

    Taking a cue from Brooke Shields, themuffinman lets nothing come between him and his towers... AJ

    If the two of you are lucky, he might be a writing therapist. AJ

    Are we talking 3GPP, 3GPP2, or both? One uses bands, the other, band classes. AJ

    Yes, we covered this in another thread recently. Buildings are hard. You should not try to penetrate them. AJ

    My guess is that the SoftBank-Sprint-Clearwire knot up and subsequent BRS/EBS 2600 MHz rollout will extend the deployment tracking element of S4GRU by another year or so beyond the expected completion of the current Network Vision rollout. Another thought, since the transaction is already a three way among SoftBank-Sprint-Clearwire, maybe it could be expanded to SoftBank-Sprint-Clearwire-S4GRU. I am sure that addendum would pass DoJ and FCC muster in about five minutes. AJ

    For a lot of guys, those 50+ Mbps speed test results are basically e-penis enhancement pills. AJ

    We will cross that bridge when we come to it. By that point, S4GRU may have run its course, so we call it a wrap. Alternatively, S4GRU may have built up enough groundswell to transition into an ad supported general purpose Sprint or wireless industry site. AJ

    Or has Everything Everywhere deployed two 20 MHz carriers? Man, that could require 80 MHz of spectrum! AJ
  11. WiWavelength
    Wow, 20 MHz downlink but only 2 MHz uplink? AJ

    Mount Everest (Chomolungma) is far taller than 5200 m above sea level. Bad reporting in the article. Oddly enough, the base station is at base camp -- at best. AJ

    S4GRU policy does not allow discussion of unauthorized tethering on unlimited data plans. AJ

    Hey, take it easy on the switch flipper. In the meantime, just drink more Zinfandel. AJ

    Bingo. Not authorized. Illegal. Bazinga! AJ

    Lose the alternative ROM, stick to a stock ROM, and you will get your engineering screens back. AJ

    Well, there should not be any native coverage gaps along an Interstate as major as I-95. But the Sprint coverage tool projections look highly conservative in Florida. So, the network has been retuned for capacity along the urban Atlantic coast and/or it was built with different devices in mind. It would be interesting to examine how much coverage we have lost in the transition from the external antenna Sanyo flip phones of yore to the aesthetically pleasing smartphones of today. AJ

    And my experience is that Sprint generally provides that level of coverage already. SMR 800 MHz will only make it better. AJ

    Define "nickel and dime" as it relates to native coverage. AJ
  20. WiWavelength
    No. Sprint does not allow Airave operation that far removed from the nearest native Sprint site. AJ

    I just feel sorry for the MetroPCS subs who are unwittingly going to lose substantial roaming coverage by switching from CDMA2000 to W-CDMA/GSM. Assuredly, some of them are going to leave the city and show up at granny's house someday soon, just to be unpleasantly surprised to see "No Service" or "Emergency Calls Only." AJ

    I doubt the regret is very strong. There simply were not that many licenses of interest to go around. VZW and AT&T would not have allowed Sprint and T-Mobile to win much of anything in the Lower 700 MHz B block and Upper 700 MHz C block. So, other than the Lower 700 MHz A block, which has been a disaster, Sprint and T-Mobile would have wasted their time and money to come away with a few crumbs of spectrum. AJ

    Yes, rebranding is an extreme form of marketing. But that does not make all marketing rebranding. Bell Atlantic becoming Verizon, SBC becoming AT&T -- that is rebranding. But Sprint has no plans to rebrand itself Starburst II or SoftBank, for example. And thank goodness, as those names have no relevance to American consumers. Even in Japan, SoftBank is a silly name for a mobile operator. So, Sprint will likely change its marketing message to emphasize a new network that fully replaces its old network. AJ
  24. WiWavelength
    That is not really rebranding, just marketing. AJ
  25. WiWavelength
    Rebranding from Sprint Nextel to just Sprint? AJ
