Marcelo said: This includes bringing LTE Plus to even more markets and further unlocking the power of our deep spectrum position. Sprint has more spectrum deployed on LTE per consumer than any other carrier today. And no other company has the spectrum to unlock the power of carrier aggregation like Sprint does. We're already rolling out devices in the market that supports three channel carrier aggregation that are expected to deliver big speeds in excess of 200 megabits per second when we were allowed three channel carrier aggregation in the network expected as early as – early 2017.

John C. B. Saw - Chief Technology Officer Hey, Jennifer. Just as a background, 74% of our postpaid sales in the quarter was CA capable, so there has been a rapid improvement and increase in CA capable phones. In terms of 3CA phones, we have five today that support three channel carrier aggregation including the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the GS7 Edge. Three more we haven't really announced yet, but we will be doing some demos around that. So, the array of devices supporting CA is going to continue to increase and we expect to be rolling out upgrades to the network to support three channel carrier aggregation in a couple of months.

New Sprint commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b50GPIm99Pg Seeing Paul in Sprint commercials will never get old. I hope Sprint sticks with him for a long time. News Release Marcelo went through the Metrics of the original ad during the Call this morning, and the numbers/impressions are truly staggering. I'll pull them from the Transcript once it posts to Sprint's site.

This 35% Figure from the Investor Update should jump substantially with upgrades to the iPhone 7 this Fall, so it'll be interesting to see what the next Investor Update shows for the quarter. On top of the iPhone Forever upgraders, Users with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be eligible to upgrade to it via 2 Year Contracts as well (since it's been enough time), which is what will help bump this figure way up. Please Apple: Let it be 3xCA

The Investor Update has some good info: So 27% of the postpaid device base is still on non-triband LTE devices (Single/Dual LTE Band). That's still a substantial number. Seems to be the way the market is going. In the prior quarter (Q415) Investor Update (See Page 5) : "Carrier aggregation capable phones, which allow for higher data speeds, were 74 percent of postpaid phones sold during the quarter, increasing the number of these phones within the phone base to 28 percent." So there's definitely growth here vs. last quarter, but quite a way to go!

Over $550 million of year-over-year reduction in cost of service and selling, general, and administrative expenses --> That's a substantial chunk of money. LTE Plus Network now available in 237 markets --> Good! 2.5GHz spectrum now carries more of Sprint’s LTE traffic than any other spectrum band --> Good metric. Sprint has to keep seeding the userbase with 2xCA/3xCA devices.
