    Of course they need it long term but they don't need to pay an arm and a leg TODAY. Off the top of your head, do you know when the buildout deadlines are and the procedures?

    When will small cells be needed http://www.fiercewireless.com/tech/story/madden-where-will-small-cells-be-needed/2015-05-27

    Does this include a new physical tower? If yes, how much does a macro site cost if it's put, say, on a building?

    Getting rid of unlimited, or even increasing the price, needs to be done tactfully I think a good "drive the point home"-presentation should show the following: 1) total $ paid by non-unlimited people vs unlimited 2) total data used by non-unlimited vs unlimited maybe (1) is not skewed, because of the $50/$60 unl plans, but (2) is definitely skewed towards unlimited 3) the cumulative distribution graph of data usage % for unlimited users Using TMO's 97% prioritization rule as a guide, the top 3% use an insane % of the total amount of data used by unl customers. If TMO or Sprint were to say "look: 97% of all users use less than X GB while in the top 3%, the median person uses Y>X GB", I think rational people would definitely accept X GB as the 'unlimited' ceiling.

    I wonder which accountant/actuarial (and how) computed that iphone users are worth $10 more per month than Android lol.

    I used 20GB last month but only 5.5GB counted by TMO because they don't count speedtests and music streaming. Of that 5.5GB, a big chunk is HBO GO, Netflix; I really thought I was a bigger hog than that. As a TMO user, I wouldn't mind TMO drastically increase $ of unl IF they increased the base allotment. Those people who use 100GB - considering music and speedtests aren't counted - definitely should pay more.

    Technically he never said he would get rid of unl. What he said, at last uncarrier event, is the #uncontract: for NON unlimited plans, prices will never go up while for unlimited he said "that's a different animal" and gave a 2-year price price guarantee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And they're the cult of Legere that AJ references. I had an exchange on twitter with a cult member who insists that legere is a true consumer advocate and would never raise prices as CEO of combined TMO sprint co. Why? Bevsuse he met him and 'he seems to be a good guy' #delusional Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This mindset is erroneous: neither sprint nor any other company is loyal to you. They never said "til death we will provide unlimited". Marcelo's loyalty is to the shareholders and theirs to their money which they've invested. Marcelo/Legere/mcadams/randall is not your buddy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    They were only carrier to add postpaid phone customers 1q so they must not need it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I didn't say they wouldn't. But by then the iron may be cold. TMO will have dealt with their rural problem and duo won't just allow massive defections without fighting. Att may even finally shelve its dividend/stock repurchase to deal with capacity issues. Plus with Altice's entry into US, buying suddenlink and soon rest of top 10 cable cos, it may buy TMO. Its French wired unit, numericable, bought SFR wireless to enter a 4-carrier market. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Because most people don't read s4gru. They switched to TMO and as long as TMO is good enough, they're not gonna switch back. Sprint is in a huge hole (negative brand equity) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Carriers chose to start out with unlimited. Good luck to sprint trying to take away unlimited. Will be very fun to watch sprint vs TMO play musical chairs with unlimited. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good thing the 700a buildout deadline is 1q2017 (I think). I hope TMO waits it out to stick it to the speculators. They got millions of adds with no lowband anywhere; they'll be fine with ONLY 190mil lowband plus small cells. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    There's still small cells, gsm shutdown/refarming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TMO has so many sites because of urban density, not rural density. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    There doesn't have to be contiguous 2.5 coverage for sprint to have a good experience. Enough traffic has to be offloaded onto 2.5 for 1900 lte to have enough capacity to be decent experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TMO at least 60k Currently, Carter said, T-Mobile has fiber backhaul connections to 50,000 of its sites, out of 60,000 total sites. That decreases costs and allows for more data usage on the network, he said. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/t-mobiles-carter-its-myth-sprint-needs-fail-us-succeed/2014-11-13 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Huh? You doubt Marcelo will change Hesse's unlimited . . . except he did get rid of Hesse's framily.

    We'll see how much softb pays out for 600mhz, if anything.
  23. lou99/maximus1987
    Mexico is a 2.5 world country whose infrastructure sucks. We have two companies covering almost everyone with lte and another two soon to cover most people. It's a wholesale network. It can only sell to wireless companies.
  24. lou99/maximus1987
    It won't happen. 600mhz is last chance for it to happen and it's clearly gonna be auctioned not wholesaled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
