  1. From back in the days when I used @sprint and things were going well for them... http://t.co/18qP5Myv8u

  2. When 700MHz is being deployed, the site is converted to a full build (RRHs and all) with 700, PCS, and AWS on it. AWS LTE, PCS GSM+UMTS, and 700MHz LTE are activated at that time.
  3. RT @NickTimiraos: The share of young adults who start a business drops to its lowest level in at least 17 years http://t.co/AsVKemK4TL http…

  4. RT @scrawford: .@ianbeyer @GlennF interestingly, where there’s fiber to the home, cable gets just 56% of subs for 25 Mbps. FTTP makes up ju…

  5. Nope. This is about the GSM/UMTS/LTE portions of Sprint phones becoming unlocked and usable with other domestic GSM/UMTS/LTE carriers that are compatible with the devices.
  6. T-Mobile sells plenty of phones that are GSM/UMTS only. Between MetroPCS and T-Mobile proper, it probably sells around 50% GSM/UMTS/LTE and 50% GSM/UMTS phones. GoSmart sells only GSM/UMTS phones.
  7. RT @Mayhem: I’m a social media savvy burglar. I’m selling everything these people own while they’re out. Buy now. #MayhemSalehttps://t.co/…

  8. You're too cynical. It's not hard to get backhaul to these sites. It just takes more planning, which T-Mobile does a good job of, and they've proven themselves well, so far. Even Sprint has done a semi-decent job with many of the exurban sites it has.
  9. Happy New Year to all on Pacific Time!

  10. Happy New Year to myself and all folks in Central Time!

  11. At the end of the day, since throughput is a significant portion of what makes up quality of service, it's quite necessary to evaluate based on that metric. In fact, as we move toward more simultaneous multiple links along a single connection (hotspot, background data transfer, etc.) and move toward symmetric data usage (user-generated content, user-focused localized publishing, IP based communication, etc.), throughput measurements (aka "speed tests") will matter more and more. It's fairly well-known by this point that narrow throughput, even with low latency and decent availability, will not suffice. All three components must be at their best. For wireless data networks these days, availability isn't usually a problem, but the other two can be. That's why RootMetrics follows the strategy they use for evaluation of mobile network operator broadband coverage.
  12. What? That's not how the logic works. It differs based on licenses, DTV51 locations, etc. Neville has only spoken about the licenses that they acquired back in January. The proportion could be (and is quite likely) different now.
  13. RT @Support: Countdown to 2015! Put on your party hats and Tweet the night away! ????????????

  14. Anyone who has heard and complained about my headset should be pleased to know that I've gotten a replacement! http://t.co/w0ZLIS9fry

  15. They likely already started identifying expansion areas and going through the red tape before the announcement in October about expanding native coverage to 300 million POPs. With the red tape work going on in parallel to the upgrade work on the existing network (reaching 285 million POPs), they can roll out immediately after they complete the existing network upgrade (which will be complete in June based on current projected estimates, but based on their own ability to execute, it'll likely be done by the end of March to mid May). The rollout to the additional 15 million POPs will probably be complete by the end of 3Q next year, based on past and current performance on execution.
  16. That was before Legere said that they were going to do native footprint rollout to 300 million POPs using 700MHz, PCS, and AWS (which Braxton Carter has explicitly said that it involves geographic expansion at an investor conference, and Legere has reiterated that new towers are going to be constructed for the expansion in the Uncarrier 8.0 event even though he kind of waved it away in favor of talking about low-band spectrum). And keep in mind, this is also part and parcel for meeting those pesky buildout obligations for AWS and 700MHz licenses that they've not yet built out.
  17. If there's to ever be a good @BBCDoctorWho game, then they need to take cues from @CarmenSandiego! http://t.co/CGu1qNRfuk via @TheAVClub

  18. RT @voxdotcom: The Sony hack was a ploy to keep Kim Jong Un safe from the UN — and it's working http://t.co/8316XXD7L9
