Sprint to join Rural Operators Roaming Hub (CCA and RRPP thread)
lordsutch replied to marioc21's topic in General Topics
My only critique of this argument is that devices can consume a lot of background data without the user knowing it, particularly since Android by default doesn't have any settings that allow fine-grained control of what happens while roaming versus native, just the global "data roaming" and "background data" settings. AFAICS you can't even set a hard data limit on roaming, just overall mobile usage. Maybe some manufacturer skins do better in this regard. -

Sprint to join Rural Operators Roaming Hub (CCA and RRPP thread)
lordsutch replied to marioc21's topic in General Topics
C-Spire has had LTE roaming in most Sprint markets (except where C-Spire has native CDMA, like Memphis) for quite a while now, although they are very aggressive in going after people with excessive non-native usage. -

I don't see the satellite radio precedent as particularly compelling. XM and Sirius were both drowning in debt and weren't really competing to retransmit the same product; instead they were both independently producing 100+ radio stations, with a minority of content coming from third parties. As for Comcast, as Fraydog points out cablecos, almost as a rule,* are either in a terrestrial market monopoly or (in the areas with U-verse or FioS) otherwise low-competition market. For example, Marion County FL is divided up between Cox and Comcast, yet there's probably not a single address in the entire county that you can choose between them. If Cox and Comcast merged, there would be no loss of competition on the consumer side. On the other hand, merging AT&T and DirecTV (or a hypothetical Dish-VZW, although Charlie has never indicated any interest in selling his baby at a commercially reasonable price) does lead to a loss of competition for consumers, just as a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile would. My prediction: post-merger, Legere would just coast on his "rock star" image, much as post-AirTran Southwest has given up on aggressively competing with the big players, coasting on its image as the low-fare option when it no longer really is (and dismantling one of the airlines that did aggressively compete with the majors, for example by offering an affordable first-class product, in the process). * There are rare exceptions, but I've lived in over a dozen cities and never had a choice of landline cable company.

One odd thing I spotted yesterday after spending several hours in the boonies of south Georgia along US 341 roaming on the .13 radio is that my Nexus 5 refused to go back onto LTE until I switched the radio off and back on in the dialer settings (cycling Airplane Mode might have worked but I was streaming audio on Bluetooth at the time too). Cycling through the various radio modes had no effect; it would scan the LTE frequencies but always give up and go back to EVDO, which is usually more symptomatic of eCSFB issues.
