I agree!!! Also adding the second lte carrier (A block) and small cells

Did sprint already say 800LTE will cover 150 million Pops by end of this year? This is why I said earlier sprint should take this announcement and really over deliver their deployments for 800/2600. Do I personally think tmobile will pull it off? maybe. Who knows we'll just have to wait and see.

I knew this announcement was coming...if anything I hope Sprint over delievers their deployment for 800/2600. Mass Son just needs to leave tmobile alone and focus on Sprint. With tmobile converting their edge towers...does that mean their network will be better than sprints?

T-Mobile today revealed more details about the growth of its LTE network. According to T-Mobile, its LTE now covers 210 million people in 273 metro areas nationwide, with its HSPA+ network covering 230 million. T-Mobile said its LTE network will reach 230 million people by mid-year and 250 million by year's end. Right now, T-Mobile is deploying LTE on its AWS spectrum assets. The company today said that it will begin upgrading the remainder of its 2G/EDGE network with LTE 4G. T-Mobile expects about half of its 2G/EDGE network will be converted to LTE by the end of the year, with the rest following by mid-2015. Last, the company said it plans to begin deploying LTE in the 700MHz A Block spectrum as soon as the transaction with Verizon Wireless is complete. Verizon agreed to sell T-Mobile a wide swath of 700MHz late last year. T-Mobile didn't say when the transaction will close. T-Mobile claims to cover 96% of Americans with its network, be it EDGE, HSPA+, or LTE. Once these network upgrades are completed in 2015, T-Mobile will offer LTE in the 700MHz, 1700MHz, and 1900MHz bands. http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=13777

I feel like Masa Son is preaching exactly the same thing when he was trying to acquire Sprint. Didn't he say with that Sprint + SoftBank + Clearwire alone can become the number 1 work in the world (maybe not in those exact words but that was message he was getting across) And now he's making it seem, without tmobile Sprint can't compete. I know it's hard for sprint can really compete with other 2 but if Sprint alone can complete the network build and then start marketing Spark aggressively they can do seriously do damage

And become more price competitive.

let me know how that goes lol

Once Sprint gets 600mhz from the auction can't they aggregate 600x800x1900?

Hopefully these changes can expedite things with band 41. It would be awesome if they can deploy band 41 over 200 million Pops instead of 100 million by year ends

The new era begins

Sprint should definitely make a commercial of network vision and they should have this video played constantly through out Sprint stores
