Washington, D.C. Network Vision/LTE Deployment schedule update
in The Wall
A group blog by The Wall Editors in General
Sprint changed their minds mid-stream. Just as the first LTE sites were being completed. Sprint intended to, from the beginning, to allow LTE sites to be discoverable to customers who had LTE devices and were within range of a completed LTE site. However, around the end of April, they changed their mind and requested their OEM's to come up with a way to block Sprint LTE devices from connecting to the LTE network. They discussed several options and selected the best solution to implement.It was a last minute and hasty decision to block LTE. And it has nothing to do with the network and being ready. It's about a device issue that Sprint doesn't want discovered. It would be figured out in two days if they allow their LTE network to go live.Robert
Hi Robert. Care to expand on that last bit above about a device issue that Sprint doesn't want discovered? Is it related to a particular handset? I sure hope I'm not going to hear more bad news about my new EVO 4g LTE - between the lousy signal reception, funky wifi tendencies, email-sending issues, red-hot temps & other minor annoyances, I can't take any bad news about the desperately-needed LTE!!

Oy - that's what I was afraid of. Must be one doozy of an issue. Well, I'll look forward to that article, but let me predict that the LTEvo comes in dead last in that signal comparison. I have 10 days to return the LTEvo and I guess try a GSIII, so feel free to drop a hint if you think that might be a good idea ;-) Thanks for the great work.
