    http://www.nasdaq.com/article/softbank-set-to-invest-16-billion-at-sprint-20130707-00017 That is the original quote I am referring to. Also worth noting that Verizon's LTE coverage is not the same as their 3G coverage. here is a photo of Verizon's current LTE Coverage( according to their site)

    Did the earnings call mention anything about expansion? I am still wondering what Masayoshi Son meant about matching Verizon's high speed coverage.

    Apple is trying to go for the lower end market, but not that low. those 200 dollar off contract devices have razor slim profit margins, I believe Apple would rather not compete than make a device for "scraps". The new iPhone 5C will probably be in the 300-400 dollar off contract range.

    According to the Iyad Tarazi, NV is capable of 4x4, but I believe that is apart of the LTE-Advanced phase.

    I have a question about TD-LTE. My understand is that we believe that Clearwire's network uses 4:3 downlink to uplink ratio for their time slots. I am wondering if it would be possible for Sprint to adjust the ratio to reach 100+Mbps without needing to add another 20Mhz.

    Clearwire's LTE network is LTE-A ready. http://www.clearwire.com/company/featured-story

    Sprint's Everything Referral Plus Plans are back on the Sprint.com/sero website. They are show next to the new All My way plans. I guess the whole " the sky is falling" was for nothing.

    Softbank's CEO Masayoshi Son mentioned matching Verizon's high speed coverage. I do not believe they will be able to meet that claim without buying most of that coverage. Also, USCC sold most if not all their AWS to T-mobile. They only have 700A/B/C, 850Mhz, and 1900Mhz, which Sprint has already mentioned supporting for roaming. Sprint would not have to sell the spectrum. the build out requirements are likely complete, and Sprint's network already supports all the frequencies besides 700Mhz.

    Considering that Ntelos is already a Sprint Rural Alliance member, I believe Sprint will just buy the whole company instead of just the licenses.

    I do not see why they would not be able to pick them up, but Sprint/Clearwire could be blocking access to these sites until a later date. I believe Sprint will follow a more traditional rollout for LTE on 800 and 2500(if they plan a nationwide rollout). Clearwire has stated that only 5% of their LTE spending is going to huawei equipment and that they were already reducing their need for the equipment. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/clearwire-materially-reducing-huawei-footprint-td-lte-buildout/2013-05-23

    Cspire has partnered with Sprint for LTE roaming on 1900 i believe. I think Cspire and USCC are likely acquisitions for Sprint. If Masayoshi Son is going to keep his goal of Verizon Coverage by end of 2015, then he is going to have to acquire some coverage.

    They are probably only available via phone/store now, so their reps can try and convince people to pick the new plans.

    I am pretty sure that is referring to streaming to your TV, and not a mobile device.

    These numbers are off Tmobile's 3 smartphones plan with unlimited is 150 add 60 dollar EIP and you get 210, which is the same as Sprint's plan. Tmobile's 4 smartphones plan with unlimited is 160 add 80 dollar EIP and you get 260, which is the same as Sprint's plan.Tmobile's 5 smartphone plan with unlimited is 210 add 100 dollar EIP and you get 310, which is the same as Sprint's plan. Sprint raised their prices to MATCH Tmobile's plans.
  16. ChadBroChillz
    So with EIP, they come out equal?
  17. ChadBroChillz
    The first way you calculated it. First line is 50 Second line is 40 3rd line is. 30 4-10 is. 20. Each For each line you add the type of data you want Unlimited is 30 per line 1gb is. 20 per line. No data. 00 per line.

    RIP Thread You will be missed.

    I have a feeling that Sprint is going to either partner or acquire most of their new coverage from CCA members, if Masayoshi Son's plan is to match Verizon's current LTE network coverage. here is a map for reference. The cost to do an organic build out is just too great and the time frame would be much longer than 2 years.

    Did they boost the throttle speeds? When I was a Tmo customers, it was 60kbps, but that was some time ago.
  21. ChadBroChillz
    You are comparing Sprint's unlimited data plan to Tmobile's 500Mb data plan. If you want to compare unlimited data, then you need to add 20 to both iPhone plans. If you only need 500Mb, then Tmobile is the better deal.

    I think their is some confusion. The map I posted shows T-mobile's native coverage with Metro coverage. The map you posted from the prepaid coverage checker shows Native + service partners.( you can tell by zooming in all the way, then it changes the legend to show service partners)
  24. ChadBroChillz
    This is Tmobile's real footprint That map includes roaming partners.

    Softbank is paying 7.65 per share.
