There is no 700 auction. If you're talking about buying the 5x5 700a, I think they'd do better to put that money toward nationwide 5x5 600. This should be doable since the reserve will be 30mhz. If sprint just doesn't bid for 600, then TMO will get the whole 30mhz reserve. At the very least sprint should enter the auction and bid up the reserve to make things uncomfortable for TMO. But at that point, why not just buy at least 10mhz? I've listened to neville ray state several times that 'lte needs 10x10 to hum' so TMO's not gonna go all out to get the full 30mhz. Both TMO and sprint know that 10x10 is ideal so they're gonna tacitly collude by not bidding up the reserve unnecessarily; if they both want 10x10, one of them will have to bid on a 5x5 unreserved chunk.

Fcc has said no to joint bidding between TMO and sprint. Fcc is about to say no to more reserve spectrum. Sprint doesn't have excess pcs spectrum else they would've launched 2nd pcs lte carrier and their network wouldn't have sucked. When you make these grandiose posts, you have to a little bit about what you're talking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Small cells is irrelevant for 600mhz. Sprints small cells won't even contain b26, only b25/41. If sprint doesn't get more lowband, then it'll be limited in 'rural-ish' expansion. Also robert stated 5x5 b26 is not enough for volte longterm. That is enough reason for at least 5x5 600 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought softb was gonna fund this?[emoji12] I got an earful on this topic. The argument is: sprint and TMO are part of companies with caps of $70B each. They can afford to bid. Plus there's still gonna be 30mhz (at most) so one of TMO, sprint will have to compete for 10mhz with att/vzw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You've said sprint might buy it but with the need for 2.5, I don't think - and hope - they won't buy it or other 700a Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

What's the point of a buildout deadline if it's not enforced? -

So what are the speculators thinking? That TMO will pay them before 2017?
