  1. Did Marcelo’s Meeting With Masa Go Better Than Expected? Read more: http://www.btigresearch.com/2015/05/28/did-marcelos-meeting-with-masa-go-better-than-expected/#ixzz3baSZqzdU Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. 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.

  3. 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
  4. We'll see if softb helps sprint with 600 auction. The silent consensus here appears to be no.
  5. The issue is unlimited is not priced proportionately to 1gb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. You talked once about taking the 850 band and reorganizing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. What about combining the A' and an' into one 5x5 block? Is that plausible technically and politically? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Sprint built wherever they could get permits ready. It wasn't a conscious decision to build rural first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Some were trying to reason with them but a person trying to convince a fool of something is a bigger fool himself.
  10. Yep. One person said "all tmo has to do is just build more towers and small cells to maintain unlimited at current prices". They really are ignorant, not in the funny way, but the ghetto way.
  11. They have effective advertising. Minimize their weaknesses and amplify their strengths. Legere def has created a cult for the ignorant just look at tmonews comments: it's obvious the ghetto is firmly behind Legere Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I addressed his comment about TMO not having rural coverage and it's impact. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Yet TMO is adding postpaid phone subs while sprint is not. Imagine how well they'll do when they finish their GMO lte upgrades. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. They can't afford to surround every big building with dozens of small cells. But I don't have enough confidence in my arm-chair CEO abilities to address this question. AJ, Robert? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. You keep on equating low band with X MIMO and other mid/high band technologies. Low band is for in building and rural coverage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. This is gonna sting http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0OD2E420150528?irpc=932 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. There's no threat: sprint easily can and currently does limit video streaming bitrate; easy fix.
  20. 2.5 buildout not spectrum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. 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
  22. What's the point of a buildout deadline if it's not enforced?
  23. So what are the speculators thinking? That TMO will pay them before 2017?
