Dish doesn't get B41. T-Mobile gets to keep all that.

If Dish gets the sites wouldn't they have to just remove 2.5 and 1900? Then let Dish worry about the rest.

So basically the entirety of both networks is getting a coverage and capacity audit?

...and when that day comes, we shall rejoice and say, "Dan is back!"....  (bah do bah ding....)   M&M's "Shady's Back" song playing in the backround....  

It is a political circus because some people are using it to further their political aims. See, I stood up toe to toe to those big, bad corporations when the feds folded. It is also said that the DOJ anti-trust chief, Makan Delrahim might be playing the political game.

The chief makan will , but tmo will look for a settlement prior or the judge to throw out the lawsuit

I think this week when TMO meets with the state AGs in front of the judge.I think they will file to dismiss the lawsuit, based on them reaching the settlement with the DOJ and that settlement should be in compliance with what the state AGs argued about.

I think in terms of future plans at this moment, with FCC details undecided (approval is already a given based on commissioners comments) but likely almost hammered out, it boils down to the odds with the state suits.  The higher the odds of success the less you are going to push.  If something is almost complete, such as almost nationwide VoLTE you likely would go for it.  Same with 5g announced markets.  Maybe even some markets with lots of Massive MIMO sites already installed if things drag on.  Anything that might damage your credit in the short term is a no go.  Thus don't expect changes in backhaul. 
Pride and future job prospects may also play a role -- what can you finish up to help with your resume? 
Another factor fulfilling and loan requirements - thus some installations could be rushed to completion, likely with poorer quality.  More new equipment may sit idle.  A lot of items may fall to T-Mobile to complete to keep the Sprint network operational during the transition period.  Example: Shentel-nTelos merger. Shentel finished activating LTE at many sites and then replaced them with their own new equipment many months later.

The "strike price" is the price at which you can execute the option contract and actually buy the shares. 
Simple example. you buy an option contract to buy 100 shares @ $10 per share. The "strike price" is $10. Once the stock price reaches $10 per share you could exercise the option and purchase the underlying shares. Then keep the shares or turn around and sell them.
 

The money trail will flow, no worries. Lol 

As of now yeah. The trail could go all the way to December

I just looked at the 2019 first-half awards and scores. It appears that Sprint is faring quite well in NYC relative to some other markets; Sprint's performance (by their metrics) is pretty shabby in some other areas of the country.

Yep I saw that.

I wouldn't disagree with that entirely, the best business decision wouldn't be to use the Sprint name. I'm just wondering if under this deal they actually have the rights to do so.

Here's my question. The Dish press release says Dish will:  
"Acquire Sprint's prepaid businesses and customers, including Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile and the Sprint-branded prepaid service."
I'm wondering if they have any rights to/will acquire the Sprint name as a part of this? To possibly still see a Sprint branded prepaid service?

I can understand that in a way.   Not sure why you've always taken such an interest in Sprint/T Mobile if that is in fact your plan?
Verizon is very strong in your area.   It was the NYNEX (AT&T BabyBell, serving New England and New York) and Bell Atlantic serving New Jersey... together they formed Verizon.    They own most of the circuits and underground telephone hardware in those areas.  Now you can understand why Verizon is so "good" in your neck of the country.     

Me too!   I'm thrilled they didn't...   They have a very nice Spectrum portfolio now.   I trust T Mobile will use it quickly and effectively, unlike what we have been use to with Sprint.    This is truly a breath of fresh air!   I have a Samsung S9+ ... all it needs is T mobile's blessing to unlock all those frequency/channels...    

Only Band 26 got divested or rather sold.

That is a minimum number of sites. I think T-Mobile has been working behind the scenes getting ready for the merger and have already identified the Sprint sites they need. Every other site will be available over the course of 3 years.

Dearborn / Detroit border  -  Sprint's 1900 mHz is carrying most of the load here, especially for data.    It's bad.  Very over crowed.  
 

So I’m guessing Robert will be rebranding the site soon. [emoji2]

I'm trying to find one also...   No luck so far.

It's about freaking time! I can't wait for the details! Will they officially close the merger on Monday the 29th?

Announcement should be tomorrow.

(Reuters) - U.S. Justice Department said Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim of the department’s Antitrust Division will announce a significant merger enforcement action on Friday.

The justice department is set to announce that it is approving the merger of Sprint Corp (S.N) and T-Mobile US Inc (TMUS.O) at a press event on Friday, sources briefed on the matter told Reuters.

T-Mobile is trying to control the PR, earnings were released today with a EPS of $1.09 which beat the estimated $0.97 T-Mobile still making moves.  One of the best quarterly results to date for $TMUS, the conference call will more than likely include the announcement of the Sprint/T-Mobile merger.  I suspect we will get some news before the open of the trading day tomorrow.
