  1. Dish 600MHZ is mostly a 5x5 nationwide and only 10x10 in the New York Tri-state area. Softbank dropped the ball, the Germans were never going to give Masa control of their company, therefore, Softbank needed to bid in the 600mhz auction. Instead, they allowed Tmobile to walk out with all the spectrum. I think Softbank did a bad calculation thinking that oh we could get Tmobile alone with their 600mhz holdings.
  2. This is the anti-Sprint Analyst now complaining on Twitter that the Sprint boys cued his questions on the conference call.
  3. The Sprint macro site on East Harlem 116th and Madison ave haven't been upgraded completely to an 8T8R tower. Also, there aren't any small cells in that area which makes service terrible in the Mall in East Harlem. Regardless that is the only part in Manhattan where I see issues with the network.
  4. The merger talks are dead. I guess now Legere will go back to his childish ways to mock Sprint. I am pretty sure these two companies were having talks for a long time. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-sprint-corp-m-a-t-mobile-us/sprint-and-t-mobile-end-merger-negotiations-idUSKBN1D40RY
  5. They will buy the other 17% of the company and take it private.
  6. You could have pulled my post after Softbank officially drop out. As much I want to this is not officially dead yet...
  7. Nice. I don't have a problem admitting when I am wrong. Now had Softbank officially announced they are dropping out?
  8. So the Softbank board finally wake up..... Have they followed through with this nonsense of merger the would end having a presence in the wireless broadband market the United States. The Germans wanted total control from the start, I don't understand what kind of control didn't Massa Son understood. Also didn't he says he has a 300 years world domination plan so why no be patient with Sprint.
  9. This fantasy of Tmobile grabbing Dish has been around for 3 years now. I don't think that will happen because Eager will never give up control of Dish. Tmobile strategy regarding spectrum is finished for now. They see Verizon can sustain over 140 millions wireless connections with the only 113mhz of it. So I am sure Mr. Neville arrogantly tells Tmobile executives we can do the same. The problem is Verizon print money and they go insane adding small cells and towers everywhere.
  10. This is the problem that Hesse and that incompetent board didn't start to address in 2008. They just kicked the can down the road just like US presidents do with this country debt.
  11. At this point, this merger is a pretty much-done deal unless the lawyers at the DOJ block it. However, the number one guy in the antitrust division is a pro-big merger and big business. I think the Nextel deal sunk Sprint to the deep ocean, and they weren't able to recover. This forced the company to operate two networks then eventually three with the WiMAX fiasco, all while the debt was keep pilling up.
  12. FCC and DOJ will approve this. Enjoy the last glorious months. The chain of events was setup when the board didn’t allow Hesse to buy Metro PCS. If T-Mobile never gets Metro they would be a weak company right now. Another stupid move before this was Att arrogance of cutting a deal with a breakup fee during an administration that was very anti big business. I have been saying for three years this is why they never decided to invest in the network because they weren’t on it for the long run. Marcelo didn’t have a problem burning billions on promotions but when it came to network investments the debt bs excuse surfaced. Thanks to The massive band 41 Spectrum Legere and Ray will claim a super fast Network. Now Neville will says Band 41 is a great Spectrum. Watch how he changes his tune.
  13. Sprint owner has been running the business with a merger in mind for the last three years. If Little Massa Son wanted to make Sprint a force or believe in it they would have started investing on the network from day one. Make city markets dense with band 41 then spread out as the financial health of the company improve. As the cities get dense with band 41, start thinning out legacy 3G on the 1900mhz and blank highways and rural areas alone with 800mhz. The funny thing about these mergers rumors is the Germans don't want to pay market value for Sprint, and this happens because the owner didn't turn the company into a strong player and decided to focus on buying tech companies around the world. The Germans are basically offering a discount offer as take it or leave it. The carrier with the most spectrum and frequencies ideal for 5G is getting a lowball offer. Seems to me the Germans got their advice from Legere about Sprint no worth market value and if they don't take a lowball offer we will crush them. Sprint 2.5ghz-2.6ghz spectrum is worth a premium, and Son is making the mistake of thinking about selling for a below market value.
  14. That is what That is what a wireless carrier spend in a year. Sprint was spending closely the same amount before the merger.
  15. It will take a year after the merger close to see the higher fees and unlimited going bye bye. I do not favor for this merger, but Sprint and its parent company have been waiting for this. This has been their strategy from the start, but the problem now is they are the seller rather than the buyers. The only thing in their way is the DOJ, but the new administration appointed pro-business lawyers in the antitrust department. Had the Japenese invested on Sprint network from the get-go, they would have been negotiating a merger from strength rather than weakness.
  16. Hey after a merger T-Mobile will introduce the one plan including taxes and fees : 180 dollars per line nice. Unlimited will go bye bye
  17. I don't want this merger to happen, and I could care less about the Magenta fans saying that Tmobile is too good to merge with Sprint. The fact is Sprint is finally picking steam. They don't really need this merger especially with that massive amount of spectrum for 5G. Massa is wasting his time, the Germans and Legere won't want him to have a say in a combined company period. News like this distract the people that work in the field from executing the company's goals. A combined company will be saturated with debt and will slow the rollout of gigabit class LTE, and 5G. Maybe this is Verizon leaking false information since they are the ones that would benefit from this merger. They are eager to go back to raise fees and eliminate unlimited again.
  18. Nah, after a month Sprint will switch back to that 480p because they are adding so many customers /s.
  19. And you wonder why they desperately want some sort of merger. Between 2017 and 2018 they have to pay 10 billion on debt, that is a lot of money so I don't expect major network upgrades or expansion anytime soon.
  20. You still need low band spectrum for coverage and VOLTE.
  21. Comcast didn't win a nationwide license. Everyone allowed Tmobile to grab most of the spectrum. http://maps.spectrumgateway.com/comcast-600-mhz.html http://maps.spectrumgateway.com/t-mobile-600-mhz.html This spectrum will be great for indoors, VOLTE and coverage.
  22. You couldn't be seriously thinking that Legere could go to the White House with this: https://cdn.geekwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/legereonesie-630x421.png He is like a professional wrestler, he can't be off character otherwise troubles arises at the Magenta Cult.
