  1. So has anyone else have problems getting an incoming call while on LTE? They just turned it on here. At first I had no problems. It seems to have started with the b41 upgrade. Sprint care was no help, says I have to wait for the upgrade to finish and then my phone will work. Not sure I buy that.

    If they did not enable eCFSB, switch back to your iPhone as they do not use circuit switch fall back. It would only effect your nexus 5. If that doesn't change, call sprint.
  2. They'll probably have to strike a deal with usc and cspire but not impossible.

    Hence my point. I should have been clearer. They will not be able to manage their own network.

     

    What you reference would be the same (in essence) program Sprint is doing through the CCA and RRPP programs. 

     

    Always nice to see a TMO person use a Sprint program which was bashed by all of the TMO fan base...

  3. The Japanese regulator has a different word for Japanese carriers:

    I am sorry but any cellular network in the world is an oligopoly.  High barriers of entry with intensive capital investment going forward. This is plain and simple.

     

    In addition, a standard plan is $55 a month. I'll take that. We don't even have an average with 4 carriers

  4. Check out how much dividends, share buybacks att vzw have for 2014.

    There's a plenty to go around.

    Besides, if sprint TMO had merged l, less likely you would've gotten the $50/60 unlimited plan

    Thank you for proving my point.

     

    With Sprint not investing into the network until 2011 due to insufficient profits, bad prior decisions, and a lackluster business model, consolidation is the most common variable (i.e., JP Morgan 1900's).

     

    There is plenty to go around, but the "go around" is with the big two. To obtain those customers, consolidation was logical. Since that didn't happen, your point of $50/60 is valid. Sprint's only option for 2015 will be a price differentiation. 

  5. So this is why softbank wanted to be in a 3-carrier market.

    These figures are insane.

    This is profit sharing between the three carriers in Japan. Sprint and Tmo profits combined would have been able to compete on a level playing field against the duo.

  6. Yep. And now you are seeing Plan B. No Hesse and a scrappy fight.

     

    One of the pillars of our strategy was to merge Sprint with another player. That was the plan,” Son said during a press conference.

    If I remember IFRS correctly, the impairment is shown in OCI which in the long run is a plug for the balance sheet.  Japan's markets are down in general over the last month.  If sprint has another quarter with additions for customers, see the stock rebound.

  7. Long term I think the B41 intra band CA and then the b41-b25 CA where b41 serves as an additional downlink to b25 will go a long way to ameliorate Sprint's data problems. Sale of EBS spectrum should provide them with some cash for the upcoming 600MHz auction.

    The more I read the 600 auction papers the more I believe it will not happen in 2016.  I think pico cells will be the future to a solid network.
