Verizon and AT&T announce VoLTE interoperability
lordsutch replied to EvanA's topic in General Topics
I think the FCC will eventually require all carriers that are VOIP capable to interconnect VOIP (including VoLTE) calls directly over IP rather than bridging to and from circuit-switched technology. In the interim it's surely worthwhile for all of the "big boys" to interconnect over IP so they can move away from legacy equipment; there's no real competitive advantage for (say) AT&T to do VOIP interconnection with Verizon but refuse to do it with Sprint (the voice quality improvements from better codecs are secondary to the advantages of everything being run on a flat, all-IP network architecture). As stated above, roaming is a completely separate issue... although, again, I seriously doubt the FCC will allow anyone with a LTE network to set commercially unreasonable rates for, or absolutely reject, LTE roaming agreements after CDMA or GSM or WCDMA is shut down by that carrier. -

LTE is being really flaky today in Macon and Warner Robins; not really sure what's going on but my Nexus 5 isn't staying on LTE more than a minute or two at a time before getting kicked to 1x800 + eHRPD. I can't even wedge it into LTE-only mode.

Sprint CEO says he may drop phone subsidies in 2015
lordsutch replied to joshnys8913's topic in General Topics
Of course there's only like a half-dozen major carriers left in the world that are still actively using 3GPP2 for voice and legacy data, so we're getting to the point that supporting 3GPP2 is an additional cost that manufacturers are choosing not to incur. Plus, even in the old days when 3GPP2 was a bigger share of the market, all the "big boys" locked out devices that weren't carrier approved. Even today both Verizon and Sprint only allow whitelisted devices on their networks, and there's no evidence Sprint plans to drop the whitelisting requirement when it starts offering all its devices unlocked next year. The proliferation of boutique bands for 3GPP isn't going to help matters, particularly if 3GPP lets 600 MHz banding end up as absurd as 700, 800, and 1900 are now, but at least in a few years when VoLTE is widespread we can finally kiss the need for 3GPP2 support in handsets goodbye (whatever its technical merits, it's a dead-end technology path and everyone knows it). -
