  1. Ya, your right. I wouldn't buy a bugatti cause I'm a rich prick who likes to show off and look down at everyone else. I'd buy it cause I like the paint job.

     

    Cmon AJ, We buy/use alot of stuff cause how it makes us feel. If that wasn't ever the case they'd be no fads. Do I agree with it? NO, But that's what makes the public what it is.

     

    At this point in time if I needed to make/take an important call. I'd feel more secure taking it with my vzw device then my sprint device at this time. Which I don't like admitting but it's the truth.

     

     

    You need to get off that bandwagon. Your choice of wireless provider in no way defines you. That you should be "proud" is ridiculous.

  2. Wow, why such hostility for trying to differentiate yourself from the past. T-Mobile made one of the two headed dinosaurs create a generous family plan. Not sprint, would I have loved if sprint came up with it? Yes, of course. Give credit were credit is due. Man, I hate when people just wanna toot their own horn.

     

    Listen, I come from the Nextel days. You had Nextel you were proud to have them. It's not the case with sprint no where by far.

     

    Our Ceo needs to make its subs feel proud to be with them and at this moment I can't recommend sprint to anyone. I look forward to a day when I can but it's not here yet.

     

     

    Results? Perhaps, but for all his bluster his "uncarrier" initiatives have yet to show a net profit.

  3. I have a thought. To me Hesse has been passive. Not something I'd really want a Ceo to be. He's not brimming with confidence. Imagine you ask your boss a question and get a feeling like oh well. That's sprint. Son don't take shit, Hesse does. Going to the famous Dennis green quote. As this moment sprint is who we thought they were.

    People can knock the Ceo of T-Mobile all they want. He's getting results. Hesse hasn't, It's always next year. Feels like I'm watching the Cubs with him. He must be a Cubs fan if he thinks that's a good excuse.

    I'm not one to mimic the Ceo of T-Mobile. At least he's putting back swagger to the organization. Something that sprint desperately needs. Which Son is bringing in not Hesse. Don't forget Hesse has been Ceo of sprint for quite a few years now. And a lot of Strategic decisions can under his watch.

    Am I calling for him to go? No, but if things don't start happening soon. Maybe the best decision he ever did was getting Son to buy the company and give himself a golden parachute.

    I wrote this on my phone so pardon the spelling errors AJ... ;)

  4. I remember Hesse once saying that its more then Vzw and Att combined.

     

    Yep.

     

    Little known fact, Sprint employees and as a company applied for 2 patents on average for every business day worked in the calendar year.

  5. Point taken Dave.  While people can bitch at wimax for not taking off as you put it. I feel it changed the game of wireless.  Without Wimax VZW wouldn't have been as aggressive as they were in rolling out Lte.  We have Sprint and Clear to thank.  Sadly, finances cause Sprint to half ass spending. Instead of pouring money directly into the network. They gave it to Clear to spend. Which was a total Fail. Not saying they do anything just with more overhead theres more expenses.  In business it's always easier to spend other peoples money than ones own.  

     

    Now, I think the best days are ahead. Thanks to Softbank.  Now, you may disagree but if it wasn't for the security of Softbank as Sprint Owners. I sincerely doubt  NV could ever have been accomplished without defaulting on our loan covenants.  Which could default sprint Into Bankruptcy.  Heese had no way out but to find someone that would buy them.  

     

    I'm just thinking how it all played out so far. Dont forget Even before the merger with Nextel, Sprint were losing subs. They were the first to ever lose subs Quarter to Quarter. 

     

    I know its all in the past and I'm quite excited what's planned ahead. I'm really looking forward when Sprint kicks Vzw ass on every metric available.  Anyway, its too nice to be stuck inside.  Enjoy & Goodluck!

  6. While that is true now that SoftBank is the owner. Have them Lose 1 million + subs this quarter. I bet that stock will tank along with the optimism  of having SoftBank in their corner. 

     

     

    Quarterly subscriber losses do not necessarily worry investors if, for example, ARPU is rising and/or costs are falling faster than subs are churning.

  7. I love this.. I'm glad Son isn't delusional like the rest of Sprints Mgmt.  

     

     

    “Just like Vodafone in Japan, Sprint has gotten used to being a loser,” Son wrote. “It is perpetually stuck in third or fourth place in the U.S. telecommunications market. Some say the poor quality of its networks explains its position. This kind of excuse keeps Sprint from breaking the vicious cycle in which it is caught. There is a need for a change in mindset.”

  8. Just curious even with 800 on sprint? Data Ya for sure it's a loss but 1x800 has help for sure around northern IL. Driving around Marengo, Harvard it's helped immensely.

     

    I carry Sprint and VZ. No contest almost everywhere I go the VZ walks all over the Sprint. Its not even the same race. A few times I have seen Sprint best VZ.

     

    Often times in dense environments, I'd like to measure my time to send or receive messages (text or picture) in minutes, not hours.
