I think that sprint could refarm/reconfigure their b25 holdings to allow 10x10... But the time and money it would take to do so when they already have b41 with 3x20 possible today begs the Question-why?

At the end of the day it comes to execution-buy and implement the small cells/macro sites where it's needed.

If they can do that in a timely fashion maybe we should all buy 600k shares.

The NV Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic upgrades. NV begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Duh da DA da dum.

Those 4 HTC's were destroyed in every which way too...water damage, thrown from top of stairs, dropped/thrown on the ground. Now she has had an S3 with an otterbox case for 2 years! I'm seriously proud.

My wife will likely end up with this. She can seriously destroy a phone (went through 4 HTC's in a year) so I hope spigen or otterbox can make a good case. I'd like for her to get the edge version but she's not sure it will hold up to her purse and two toddlers.

 Seems pretty transparent to me unless you never want anything to get done.

Shh...don't tell everyone. That is what the party that's not in control wants.

20,000 sites must be the 9,000 Robert wrote about plus small cells...again no time frame mentioned.

At 9000 tower's/sites it roughly 180 per state Maryland has 23 counties that would be 7 or so per county in a real world,wonder if Sprint will do this in a real world way.

Nah, I would put all 180 Maryland towers in Garrett County

All I got from that press release:

Oh man I remember Stuart, FL. My grandma lived there, we would go to bathtub beach. Those are good memories.

These KD commercials are diametrically opposed to that stinky narwhal ad. This one is funny yet informative...how innovative - I like it!

Cornering AJ into fact vs opinion does nothing to further our education and can be used to define a troll. It is fact that LTE is a more fragile airlink and therefore VoLTE is not as reliable as 1x800. For a company that has had reliability issues, Sprint is wisely holding off on its implementation.

Single path radios, as explained by AJ, were necessary to stay in business and no one can fault a good business decision especially given 1x800's coverage ability.

I know it has been discussed in the Tampa and NYC market threads but...my data and even voice calls wouldn't work at all yesterday afternoon into this AM.

Everything seems to be working now though. I will admit it was quite frustrating not being able to make calls - I can see why "pardon our dust" didn't appease many people. (free iphones would have though )

I was just searching the South Hills news on the post gazette website:

http://www.post-gazette.com/local/south/2015/02/02/Upper-St-Clair-board-approves-building-on-McMurray-Road/stories/201502020197

Came across this:

The board also set a public hearing date of 7:30 p.m. on April 6 to establish regulations for distributed antenna systems (DAS), which are alternatives to traditional cell towers.

The low-powered antennas are installed on existing street light poles to close gaps in cellular service coverage.

I guess there are plans for an outdoor DAS in Upper St. Clair.

Interesting.

So the Radioshack stores will change to Sprint stores as far as the branding on the storefront. Then Sprint will have one wall with their phones and ads and Radioshack's products will have the back and opposite wall?

What a lot of people in Ericsson land have been experiencing.

If I remember correctly I think a lot of the Ericsson bashing came from Digiblur. Which was a long time ago...

Considering the lower amount of subscribers and their backhaul largely provisioned at 40Mbps per sector throughout the Phoenix market, all they really had to do is increase their backhaul provisioning and max out the air interface. That alone will probably do it.

Can you give me an example?

I knew it! Carroll must have had his mind altered by those extra radio waves.

Reviving the once mighty Steeler (Pittsburgh) thread here.

I have seen flashes of B26 at my work on the North Side (AGH) and in Bloomfield (West Penn) and in my house in the South Hills, but it has been far from consistent. At times I get -88 dBm signal where there used to be only 3G but it disappears quickly.

I know its all optimizing but I'd like to see the work coalesce here. I do get B41 in a handful of spots too so that's nice knowing that we are a 4th rounder in NV.

Anyone else getting more consistent B26 'round here?

That is controversial as the science wouldn't support the energy in radio waves being carcinogenic. But our understanding of radio - especially radio in such close proximity to our bodies is limited.

So could I, in theory, buy one of these off ebay and put it onto the side of my house plug it into my Ethernet and go?

I'm sure it would add at least 10k to the value of the house!!

I wonder if a sketch artist could draw him just based on that description. I think yes!

So a best of both worlds plus Wi-Fi?

That would create huge pressure on the duopoly but would also cannibalize Sprint and T-Mobile's customer base. I would think financially Sprint and T-mo would have to be well compensated for such a deal if it were to work as Google supposedly intends.

Will AT&T speed up the IBEZ issues now that they own the rights in Mexico?? Would something that helps out a competitor be a priority for them?

Maybe I missed this somewhere in the thread but I'm not realizing how a Google MVNO is going to be such a big draw.

What extra service can Google provide by being an MVNO that it couldn't do with its Nexus or Google play edition phones? Why are people going to want Google as thier service provider?

About $106 with taxes/fees for 2 lines.

 

$53 - ATT half price promotion with 10GB shared

$20 - iPhone lease

$20 - iPhone lease

+ taxes/fees

Nice to see a great deal like that for ppl who switch over.
