WSJ: Sprint looking at T-Mobile purchase
Conan Kudo replied to LuisOlachea's topic in General Topics
Why in the world would Sprint be so stupid as to give up such bandwidth for a paltry LTE FDD network on PCS? Especially when PCS isn't even the band of choice for LTE anyway! Given the layout of PCS spectrum, it makes more sense to retain UMTS service on PCS and accelerate the shift of UMTS to PCS and LTE to AWS. It is more likely that Sprint's PCS G block would be divested rather than AWS, because it's an island band that simply isn't very useful. CDMA to UMTS conversions are quite commonplace and very easy to do with today's gear. No one sells CDMA gear that doesn't have support for UMTS because there have been many situations where CDMA operators have chosen to switch platforms as part of a strategy or a government order. More importantly, AWS is the global roaming band for the Americas. Removing that would be foolish. AWS has some special characteristics that make it uniquely qualified to be a global band, and every operator in the Americas knows this. No device can use more than 40MHz due to PA, filter, and antenna restrictions on user equipment. It makes very little sense to have the entire band. BRS+EBS is an easier divestment to make, as well as PCS G block. -
Looks like T-Mobile has been gradually opening up its LTE network to MVNOs and other rebranded resellers...

That's not strictly true. AMR-WB is supported on all UMTS cell sites that T-Mobile has. It's even supported on newer GSM cell sites, as well. The limiter is whether or not your handset supports the codec. Most handsets released in the last two years have the support built-in.

T-Mobile CFO makes case for U.S. consolidation, Sprint deal
Conan Kudo replied to Rawvega's topic in General Topics
T-Mobile doesn't get called on it largely because it's not that noticeable to its subscribers. The reason it was noticeable with Verizon and Sprint is that the fallback is very painful. AT&T and T-Mobile both offer a superior fallback experience, and they actively work to improve performance on both levels of the network. HSPA+21 and HSPA+42 can provide a substantially better experience than EvDO Rev A. If Rev B was deployed, maybe that might be a different story, but EvDO is an dead-end product anyway. -

This means that we'll start seeing GSM/UMTS/LTE devices that have Bands 2, 4, and 25 become available.
