I believe sprint can survive by itself without needing a merger. I don't want sprint or TMO to fail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you have given up on Sprint gaining customers? Why wasn't that part of your original post? You'd think with so much spectrum, you'd have more confidence in Sprint.

Sprint has plenty of money to pay plenty of people plenty of money to worry about how to become profitable. I guarantee you Son/Marcelo/Legere/Adams/Randall are not worrying about your and my bill.

How about gain customers? lol Have you given up on that possibility?

I wanna do sonething similar for TMO: they have 4 separate maps that they give to their mvnos: 2g, 3G, 4g, lte. I want to basically do "lte map minus 4g map" to see where the GMO lte is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How'd you do that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. I distinctly remember reading that international stuff doesn't get prorated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in Detroit metro and I see these panels - below the rack - here too. There's only a few clear protection sites so definitely not clear. Forgot about tower stream. Hmmm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On the center one, what are the panels below the rack? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Conoetition is not fierce with 3 carriers. France - 3 equal carriers until 2012 - had the highest prices in Europe. Then Free mobile launched and now they definitely don't have the highest prices. The fcc doesn't have power to lower prices in a supposed 3 carrier market no matter how much they would want to. Empirical evidence shows that 3 carriers leads to horrible prices and 4 carriers lead to awesome prices. There's no reason why a merged TMO sprint wouldn't pass on the savings to consumers … except human nature. If Marcelo were hired to vzw CEO, he'd keep the same sky high prices and same goes for Legere. Their goal is to make as much money as possible while mine and yours is to save money. With sprint and TMO, those goals align. If everyone cared about network quality then we would all move to vzw like tomorrow. But TMO's city coverage is still good enough for some people. This idea "we have to allow 4 to 3 mergers so EVERYONE can have a 'good' network" is very elitist; people can chose their own networks just fine thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The election is next year which means any merger review - 6 months - wouldn't start so close to end of a term. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You hope we go from 4 carriers to 3 carriers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No one is off guard. Everyone needs more low-band. Period.

The fcc isn't that dumb, is it Trip? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's all bs. Verizon too when they said "we may not BS bs bs bs" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems like a good place for softb to invest more $ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People only have past experiences on which to base their decisions because Sprint won't do a TestDrive That better? I gave a real example about a former coworker no longer on sprint because of the WiMAX rollout. Seems relevant. And on topic to the comment which I originally quoted.

That's exactly why a co-worker moved from Sprint to Verizon: he bought a WiMax phone and never got 4G so now he happily pays way more for 4 lines on Verizon. Laugh but there are many in that situation; Sprint lost them for a few years at least.

What if I travel outside the International Value Roaming countries/destinations? Users with International Value Roaming traveling outside of the International Value Roaming countries will not be able to use their device. Customers will need to chat with a Sprint representive before traveling to a non-International Value Roaming country to have their roaming plan changed to allow usage outside of countries not included with International Value Roaming http://support.sprint.com/support/article/FAQs_about_Sprint_International_Value_Roaming/8fc1976f-831b-44a4-ab93-d1b3c36c39a3?INTNAV=IVR_LP#!/

Yes I do, thus my comment

I addressed the islands of lte. You're right. It's much better to have rural lte and lose postpaid subs. Can't argue with that logic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So sprint's lte (rollout) is so much better than tmo (rollout) that it continues to lose postpaid phone subs? I concede: I will get better lte on sprint when I go to Florida or visit my cousin a few times a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
