Yup, ether way the sprint customer is going to get a better network .. merger or not .. carry the same amount of capex into fiscal 19 should work wonders for sprint and might actual show native coverage expansion .
Sprint has 4 years of T-mobile roaming and can close the gap in the 4 years it took tmo 5

Me too, I wonder if sprint would have even raised capex if it wasn’t for a possible merger ..

Here comes the anti merger coalition..

C spire is probably the only one who has legitimate concerns (and probably quite a few other regional carriers) about decreased competition leading to increased roaming rates.

There will be terms and conditions from the DOJ and FCC.  The question for T-Mobile will be if the deal is still worth it.

I don’t see them as crooked... first and foremost they are a COMPANY.

Oh well

Your individual example means absoulute zero to the general point he was making. You might has well said the second planet from the sun is Venus in response. 

https://www.androidcentral.com/metro-t-mobile-now-charging-15-every-time-you-switch-phones told you they would reverse it!

What does that have to do with the comment you quoted? 

Also, don't forget that Sprint users consume more data than VZW users on cellular.  This will add some offset into the number of additional customers VZW has.

https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/10/28/heres-how-much-smartphone-data-americans-are-using.aspx
From these two separate reports, 1 Sprint customer equals roughly 1.25~1.3 VZW customers. 

It's still bogus. Why screw over the customers who have been with them for a long time. It's not fair. I mean okay new customers sure but customers that have been with them for years will leave them and go to other carriers. So it's not really going to be a proper thing to do for a long T-Mobile has already reversed it.

It's for Metro Pcs and it's always been that way. Just didn't enforce it until now.  Dealers are losing money when people get there new phones and leave the store only to swap the device then sell it. 

TMobile is crappy..I mean seriously though... Charging $15 to swap your sim card to another phone even if you just take it out they charge you an extra $15 that's ridiculous that's total BS. I'm glad I'm with Verizon prepaid now. I don't have to deal with that crap.

Huh?

It's physically not possible?

Most likely they will , but band 41 will not blanket all delaware 

I feel bad for Sprint being taken over by such a crappy company.

I don't see Sprint lasting long without a merger, the service is already falling behind the others, had a friend switch from at&t and they immediately regretted their decision and went back. 

That's why I switched to Verizon prepaid. I'dont up with stupid stuff like this.

People in the tmobile reddit page are ripping Tmobile a new one!

I swap 10-15 times a year between 5 lines. That would mean an additional $300 just to do something Sprint customers do for free. Not just that, Sprint is launching eSim support now to make things even more straight forward. 

So pretty much Verizon owns itself?

The real comparison to observe in the future is if Softbank puts in more money for more control and quicker 5G or sells out at a much later date.  The closest comparison is Verizon and Vodaphone's control of Verizon Wireless.  Ultimately Verizon bought out Vodaphone. 

Aren't they going to add it to every site?

No way ever place going have band 41 but I say 75 percent sites now have it.

Then what about the coastal highway? What about the overall covers with band 41?

Delaware is starting finish all triband upgrades so your wrong how much it improved last 6 months even going too beach.

I was unsure of which one to say so I said both just for the sake of saying it. therefore I'm not ignorant. So therefore the attitude is not warranted. But I still see two seats on the board and voting stock as minimal control. They obviously don't want to give up most of the control to T-Mobile. That was an issue for SoftBank in the past.

Most of this garbled and incoherent. Softbank is not giving up much control. They get 2 seats on the board and voting stock. Had this deal just been about getting cash Softbank would have taken the deal before, when there was no seats and the stock was nonvoting. Mergers never save money in the short term, so it is always about longterm growth and overall profits. Political issues are completely nonsense, modern politics is about the short game. These are going to be freshman congressman.[FYI Congress is both the House and Senate so saying Senate or Congress makes you look ignorant] Congress has already held hearings on this. And we are at regulatory review. All Congress could really do at this point is sue to stop it, which without regulators on there side would be downright stupid.(Not saying it couldn't happen, just that it would be stupid.) Any request for divestment in spectrum is going to come from the FCC not Congress. And has almost certainly been discussed. I doubt any major divestitures will be required as much of the spectrum is the catalyst for the merger in the first place. It is quite apparent that many here simply do not understand the process of mergers or the government involvement in them. 

They are so far behind on Delaware in terms of the network it's not even funny. Even here by me where I live in New Jersey my parents place has zero service.

What kind phone do you have and I don't think flag pole has band 26 .

I am not sure why anyone thinks this merger is going to lead to job losses in the short term that would intersect with political issues. In the short term mergers nearly always generate job gains as the companies integrate. This will be especially true in this case as there is physical equipment to be moved. Long term yes jobs will be lost but why would any politician care about the long term. In this case we are talking a network integration time of 3 years and at the same time network upgrades. Feet on the ground will be needed. Many of this pool of labor is the voter trump would be trying to influence. Upper and upper middle class isn't his wheelhouse.

i see the whole merger as a few things...for one a cash cow for softbank ..because in the end it saves lots of cash...and puts some positive cash flow back into soft banks profits...and that this will also make softbank give up pretty much all control to tmobile... now i can definitely say with the new incoming either senate or congress... they will definitely make em divest spectrum.. and other infrasturcture... also i have a feeling there maybe a new MNVO that comes out of this...

They overstate everything pretty much.

I was just looking at the Sprint coverage map and it now show's excellent signal in just about all of the Earleville zipcode. Hogwash

I'm glad I'm not heard either. And to everybody else Happy Thanksgiving :-)

Omg I lost it when I read the vampire slay part. Lol. Who knows maybe they will do something. Just glad it wasnt a explosion while he was holding it.
