Mobilitie in the news, again.

 

I sent a note to the reporter asking if he knew how to determine where they're located. Would be nice to go find one of them.

Mobilities methods have much to be desired. They've created a long history of these disputes.

Not a smart move on their behalf.

I don't think it's a bad move, it's the consumer that's being an idiot. It isn't a good idea to suddenly cut people off from even being able to make emergency calls.

Wow "huge" announcement... How many subs will this bring in? How will this enhance revenue? This would have been great news in September back when there was the "craze". I personally cannot say when the last time I saw someone playing the game. I assume this number will decrease even further with freezing weather in the forecast for a large chunk of the USA in the coming weeks.

Even in my small sized city I still see several players (I sure can't hold a gym for long). It just gets less attention now since the initial hype had died. Since my local mall has a gym and many spawns but no Pokestop, it will definitely drive traffic to the Sprint store there.

My guess is making stores something special. I don't know what because I don't play the game but 2 weeks ago we had to upload the gps cordinates of each store for something Pokémon related.

I heard a very credible rumor a couple months ago that Sprint was going to make every Sprint store a Pokestop. I bet this is the announcement that it's really happening. While some people say it's not cool, It will drive traffic. At worst, it's an easy way to increase visibility.

Not notifications in general, the Sprint specific notifications is what is suspicious to me.

Having looked at it again, that sure looks like a network engineer's phone. Besides the two sprint ones, it looks like a user ID notification and a Samsung diagnostic notification. So it might not be publicly accessible.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's live to the public though. Who in real life has that many Sprint notifications in their notification bar?

I can think of several co-workers at my company who never clear their notification bar. Heck, mine can get that high at times too.

Found this in Washington of all places.

And donated a bit. It had been too long since i had thrown some support to this site.

I just don't know what numbers to look for. I was just shocked to see it. It must be on a different tower though because I didn't see B41 antennas on the lone LTE tower there.

Is this a glitch? Or did they really install B41 in Burlington off all places?

Unlike T-Mobile and Sprint AT&T has billions upon billions upon billions of cash its disposal so it won't run out anytime soon

At&t does not have the cash. There is 40 billion dollar loan (about 45%) involved in this transaction.

It seems Sprint is not ready for this launch. I'm not surprised.

They don't have to be ready. Technically the only carrier that supports it is Verizon. You're on your own on other networks.

Who is buying those ads? It may be VZW.

 

AJ

It might be, except it's the same Ad Google used before the announcement with the only difference being that the rectangle becomes an image of the phone at the end. And all the banner ads, even on google's own sites say "only on Verizon."

Google is sure pushing the Verizon partnership. Their ads don't mention the Google store, just say "only on Verizon."

That's a good question. Free broadband for poor and rural areas...except Sprint's rural coverage is not very good.

The answer is contained in the NYT article. Claure was pretty clear this would require no network investment.

Darn SpeedConnect, lol.

Just to clarify, it would be one 15MHz TDD LTE carrier, not a 15x15. As that would be the expression of a 15 up and 15 down FDD carrier. B41 is TDD only.

 

Robert

Yeah, I missed that because the rest of the map is downlink spectrum. Does that mean there's only 15mhz of B41 or is there 30mhz total of B41 that can be deployed in a tdd configuration? Looking at the map, I tend to think the latter (where the map treats everything as an fdd deployment).

For anyone interested in seeing what soectrum sprint owns in our area. I wonder if it would be worth sprint deploying a 15x15 B41 carrier in Cedar Rapids?

Sprint has been copying tmobile alot lately.

 

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

And us cellular has been doing this long before T-Mobile adopted this method. Eventually everyone copies everyone.

While the phone is compatible with Sprint because of Google Fi, will Sprint whitelist it for use as a Sprint customer?

Interesting that is supports B25 CA. I don't think sprint has any plans for that?

Thought I'd forward this information here... http://s4gru.com/ind...dison/?p=490226

Small cells are coming to Green Bay

 

Keep a lookout Spike!

This is also why sprint has been slow in their small cell rollout. Notice the number of rejections mobilitie has gotten from the towns and the packers. Hard to make progress when the cities won't let you do the work.

Most if not all Sprint markets have a minimum of 20 MHz of PCS A-F spectrum that's either contiguous or non contiguous.

 

Sprint has been busy refarming all these markets down to just a mere 3 CDMA carriers occupying 10 MHz so that an additional 5x5 mhz FDD-LTE B25 carrier can be launched.

 

Easiest way to track that is to look at what CDMA channels are in use and the match those channels to the frequencies Sprint is licensed to.

If so, this is the first legitimate sighting of the 2nd carrier in Cedar Rapids.

No reason why not. There's spectrum for it.

I've been told that because uscc owns the C block and at&t and Sprint split the B block here it makes it difficult to deploy a 2nd carrier without severe cannibalism of 3G and 1x blocks. It's possible they did that, but I wouldn't know what to look for.

Is this a glitch? Cedar Rapids isn't supposed to have the second carrier.
