Goes beyond just their earnings. How they obtain additional $ will affect many things about Sprint and other 3.

In fiscal Q4, Sprint burned through $914 million of its starting $3.5 billion cash-and-marketable securities total," said MoffettNathanson analyst Craig Moffett. "At this rate, Sprint will run out of money around the 2016 (radio spectrum) incentive auction." "At the end of fiscal 2014, gross debt equaled $33.8 billion, with cash, short-term investments of $4.2 billion," he said in a report.

But it is representative for non-trivial major markets. I don't really care about b26. It's b41 that I'm surprised sprint hasn't launched in my area given the premier b41 schedule info.

The Sprint store I go to check has speeds ~ 0.05mbps on ookla while iphones - can't download app - max at 2mbps on bandwidthplace.com test. Closest 3 towers are all b25 lte. Next closest is 3G-only but then farther out, they're all b25 lte.

Yes but 2.5 is necessary to have the true lte experience. Having b25 and b26 gives you 1-3 Mbps. 4q2014 sprint happily volunteered they cover 125mil with 2.5 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it happens, there's nothing broadcasters can do to take back their licenses. There's always kelo vs new London. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought 2.5 was an easy install. Why isn't it going faster? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Broadcasters said they WANT fcc to eat a target for 120mhz nationwide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bye said that Sprint is not disclosing how many POPs it is covering with 2.5 GHz LTE or how many it plans to cover by year-end. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprint-hints-upcoming-network-densification-strategy-using-25-ghz-spectrum/2015-05-05?utm_medium=nl&utm_source=internal My interpretation: only significant markets will get spark by EoY.

I don't get why they don't have a 2-week trial that's FREE. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sprint has oodles more spectrum per sub than TMO. Won't happen anytime soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That would be possible but only once all the major cities have spark. Otherwise, you'd risk someone from a b25-only city being chosen for the town hall. But in general, yes TMO is better at marketing and presentation. Sprint should start taking some questions from twitter or from this very site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What other parts have you noticed presence of b41? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How's Ann arbir? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should be free. It's that way on TMO. Can't imagine it being otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which point? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would att, vzw buy 2.5 if it can only be used in Tdd? What are the chances of a reorg of 2.5 by fcc into Tdd, fdd? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would anyone say this It’s not assured, writes Moffett, that Softbanks’s Masayoshi Son can necessarily swoop to the rescue in such a funding emergency. http://m.barrons.com/articles/BL-TB-47579 Why wouldn't Son swoop in to fund sprint??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's based on user reports. Very incomplete.

Agree. But from now on, both TMO and Sprint will only get better. And if we go by market, market wants one carrier TO RULE THEM ALL!

I agree. But they could've stated how many additional 2.5 sites they have live. SOMETHING to give us some idea of progress.
