No extra money needed. The amount of money allocated this year is the same amount used to upgrade 50K existing sites last year, which should be enough to upgrade the remaining 10K sites and construct all the remaining sites needed. The major cost is when a new site has to be built from scratch, and even then, the cost of that isn't that much more from putting equipment on an existing location or upgrading an existing site. Main issue is red tape and timing, which is likely being worked on as we speak.

I'm just glad someone other than myself noticed it. T-Mobile will firmly push into the "profitable" region with the MetroPCS decommissioning completed this year, since redundant core network for CDMA and the MetroPCS radio access network systems would be removed and costs associated with O&M for those systems will be removed from the books going forward. On top of that, once the buildout to cover 300M POPs and support the AWS/PCS licenses T-Mobile has throughout the country with no underlying network is complete and T-Mobile has sufficiently acquired 600MHz and 700MHz licenses, T-Mobile can start banking cash for 600MHz deployment in 2022 (since 600MHz can't even be used until 39 months after the auction concludes and the licenses are issued).

Probably either Sprint will implode in bankruptcy or it'll cut costs (through capex reduction, layoffs, or both) to balance the budget.

Ack, no, it's $6 billion... Fixed.

Insofar as T-Mobile's capex levels, I personally expect that T-Mobile's capex levels will ease off in 2016 (if the 600MHz auction doesn't happen) or 2017 if the auction does happen. Once it completes its geographic expansion in 2016, the overwhelming majority of its capex spend is no longer necessary. As for Sprint, its $10-18 billion $6 billion each year for capex with no return isn't sustainable either. Something has to give there too.

He didn't strictly say that DT would leave. He wants a merger. There's no reason it couldn't be the other way around if Sprint continues to flounder around in the market for a year or two.

Unfortunately, the coverage map platform isn't set up yet to handle LTE 1900 coverage data. That's being added through updates to the coverage map platform on January 25.

The new map data Verizon sourced from Mosaik is interesting:

No, because it's almost impossible to appropriately define. While BRS is allocated by BTA, licensing isn't fully rationalized. EBS uses geographic partitions that potentially overlap (radius from location of school the EBS license was allocated to) and there are massive gaps in EBS availability. It's almost impossible to know how much BRS+EBS spectrum is available for use. The FCC doesn't even know because not every educational institution has registered their EBS licenses (even though they legally have them regardless). -

Not for very long. Telus aims to turn off the CDMA network by the end of the first half of this year. As it is, there's only a sliver of CDMA2000 1X service live in Telus' footprint now. But, as far as I knew, Telus also started severing roaming contracts last year with everyone who partnered with them for CDMA roaming anyway. Verizon switched to UMTS roaming from Telus at the beginning of last year, for instance. -

Except, of course, AWS WCDMA (UMTS band 4).

Actually, no. It doesn't matter whether it is broadcasters or cell carriers, video is never delivered uncompressed anymore. Upcoming 4K content will be compressed with either VP9 or H.265, both of which can offer 4K video at roughly the same bit rate and size ratios as HD video with VP8 and H.264. Uncompressed digital video would take far more capacity than what a 6MHz channel can offer. And incidentally, Blu-ray video is encoded the same way.

My first thought of being in Norwalk: cold. I think I'm going to need slippers for wearing while at home. Maybe also some warm nightclothes.

I'm now in Norwalk, CT for the foreseeable future. I have no idea what my future holds, but I hope it'll be full of exciting things!
