  1. As a message to everyone, if you would like to express sadness or condolences regarding the Connecticut school shooting today, you certainly may do so in this thread. But please keep potentially divisive beliefs and politics out of the discussion. The S4GRU staff respects your sympathy and appreciates your cooperation. AJ
  2. Josh might be autistic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seVRWfA5Hgc AJ
  3. I heard that every future Galaxy Note model is going to come with one of these: AJ
  4. Maybe, though I cannot say with any certainty. What I can say is that it does not make sense to deploy TD-LTE 2600 in cells where nearly all users are highly transient (e.g. highway coverage). Users would enter and exit TD-LTE 2600 coverage zones too quickly for the users or the network to benefit. AJ
  5. But that, apparently, is what Samsung is thinking. At this rate, the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab converge into one device within the next 18 months. AJ
  6. Do not get too carried away. Clearwire buyout or not, TD-LTE 2600 is not going to end up on every site. It just is not necessary and just would not make sense. AJ
  7. "You're going to need a bigger boat..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gciFoEbOA8 Galaxy Note 2 owners, your handsets are soon to look relatively puny: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57558958-94/galaxy-note-3-with-6.3-inch-display-reportedly-in-the-works/ AJ
  8. Is that like the difference between floaters and sinkers? AJ
  9. The deal will not be consummated at the previously stated $2.90/share price. I said early this morning that Sprint would probably have to sweeten the offer to the $3.25/share range, and I will stick to that. For reference, CLWR closed at $3.16/share today, up from $2.75/share yesterday. But Walt Piecyk has said that a buyout of CLWR will take $5/share. http://www.fiercewir...-21b/2012-12-13 AJ
  10. I guess we now know what David will be doing this weekend: getting a pizza from Domino's, browsing at Best Buy, then catching a movie at the AMC, and paying for it with his Discover card. AJ
  11. Remember that in initial Network Vision planning, Sprint designated one panel per sector on most sites for LightSquared L-band 1600 MHz. Since LightSquared was taken out of the picture by its own arrogance (or incompetence), look for Clearwire BRS/EBS 2600 MHz panels to take many of the spots that LightSquared was going to occupy. AJ
  12. If you do not mind, we would love some screen caps, though please resize them first -- 720x1280 takes up a lot of forum real estate. AJ
  13. Sounds like somebody might have to pay some capital gains tax soon... AJ
  14. The EVO LTE Android Jelly Bean update has arrived. Please continue discussion in this thread: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2809-evo-4g-lte-android-jelly-bean-update-31565116/ AJ
  15. The EVO LTE Android Jelly Bean update is no longer in question. Please continue discussion in this thread: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2809-evo-4g-lte-android-jelly-bean-update-31565116/ AJ
  16. Be careful with your facts, guys. The CDMA2000 version of iPhone 5 does support SMR 800 MHz, but only for CDMA1X/EV-DO, not for LTE. CDMA1X/EV-DO 800 is called band class 10, while LTE 800 is deemed band 26. AJ
  17. When I saw the CLWR offer early this morning, I told Robert that Sprint in continued acquisition mode will probably depress its stock price somewhat. AJ
  18. The PCS/AWS-2 H block is only in the planning stages. It does not yet exist. So, all Sprint LTE devices support PCS A-G blocks, while some LTE devices from other carriers (e.g. AT&T, USCC) support the more standard PCS A-F blocks. AJ
  19. In the last 12 hours, Clearwire's market capitalization has increased by $600 million on ten times the average volume of CLWR shares traded. AJ
  20. No. Current panels going up on most sites are already dual band 800/1900 MHz. Otherwise, CDMA1X 800 would not be possible. AJ
  21. The 150 MHz figure oft cited is somewhat misleading. Most of that is leased, some of it non contiguous, and much of it tied up in WiMAX. After WiMAX winds down, Sprint may terminate some of those leases because the spectrum is not well suited to 20 MHz TDD carriers and to cut costs. Sprint will be fine with only 40-60 MHz of BRS/EBS 2600 MHz per market, and that may allow Sprint to focus on its licensed BRS spectrum, rather than leased EBS spectrum. Speaking of WiMAX, it needed to be a ubiquitous 4G solution. But TD-LTE 2600 does not because Sprint will have plenty of LTE 800/1900 underlying TD-LTE 2600 coverage. No, any addition to Network Vision -- such as Clearwire BRS/EBS 2600 MHz or Dish AWS-4 2000+2200 MHz -- will require additional panels. Current panels are dual band SMR 800 MHz/PCS 1900 MHz. AJ
