Looks like it's in Miami based on other Tweets he's made. Also, appears to be supported by Wireless backhaul from Fastback Networks: http://www.fastbacknetworks.com/ -
See Sprint's recent FCC filing (March 1, 2016) which discusses its 800 MHz Band Reconfiguration progress and scheduled timelines: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view?id=60001493430

Sprint just appointed Robert Hackl as the new Chief Experience Officer and President of National Sales, joining on April 1st. It'll be interesting to see what direction he takes things based on his background: He will replace Bob Johnson who is leaving on April 29, 2016 after 14 months in the role. However, Bob has been with Sprint since 2005 and prior to that he was at Nextel since 2002.
-
Yeah. It's strange how it was left off the shutdown list... Last day will be March 31st regardless.
-
I thought the Sprint/RadioShack deal resulted in an additional 1,435 store locations... Is Sprint still behind in locations versus the other 3 after that? As of July 2015, Sprint had 4,500 locations, "making it one of the largest retailers in the U.S."
-
Sprint Announces Joint Venture with Dixons Carphone Plans to open up to 500 Sprint-branded retail stores nationwide. I guess the pilot program from last year went well? Does Sprint really need more retail locations? Perhaps if they could build a new tower site at each one?
-
Sounds like it had to be done. The customer base wasn't ready for it and the metrics must have shown that.
-
As I recall, Subsidized Upgrades were being offered on a reactive basis for upgrades and add-a-lines.
-
This is mainly for the folks on Legacy Plans... If you're on a new plan with a subsidized device, you'll pay a $25/month Subsidized Device Fee. Over 24 Months, that's $600!
-
Perhaps that's reflective of the feedback Marcelo got on his "Listening Tour".
-
Are you on a Legacy Plan, etc.? Do you have a lot of lines?
-
It seems so...

Saw this deal was announced: Activate a New Sprint Account and Earn up to 25,000 American Airlines AAdvantage® miles Existing Sprint customers can earn up to 5,000 AAdvantage® miles a year simply by registering their AAdvantage number at sprint.com/AAdvantage. Warning: Perhaps this makes sense for some? Thoughts on the math? I noticed Miles are earned per account, not per subscriber. Oh well. .

Thanks. Can the Samsung Clear equipment do 2xCA?
-
The new 8T8R equipment, combined with Carrier Aggregation and Beamforming are a substantial improvement over the Clear equipment. See the charts in this Blog Post by John Saw, Sprint CTO, which illustrate that LTE Plus devices that support 2xCA and Beamforming have better coverage, even at the Cell Edge.
-
One additional basic question: Why do the vendors want to have their own macro sites overlaid first before replacing the 2.5 Samsung Clear sites?
-
Thanks. What percentage of the WiMAX sites are Huawei?
-
When's the Clearwire (Samsung) Dual Mode equipment, which is now supporting a second B41 carrier, getting swapped out for 8T8R equipment for 2xCA?
-
Wow. Pretty impressive. Hopefully Sprint can take lessons learned and replicate this performance across the country. I think that's what Son and Marcelo envision.
-
The full report is not live yet, but you can still see the results in the table if you scroll down on: http://rootmetrics.com/en-US/rootscore/map/metro/las-vegas-nv/2015/2H See where it says "1st Half 2016" results? Looks like it was posted prematurely and pulled.

Sprint announces "Better Choice Plans" Interesting moves on pricing. Data prices drop, but access fees go up slightly.
-
Sprint Continues to Close the Gap in Overall Network Performance (By Dr. John Saw, CTO, Sprint) Great post by Dr. Saw on the RootMetrics Report and Sprint's Network improvements. Looking at the figures Dr. Saw cited, Sprint has made incredible progress in the last 12-18 months:
-
As Louis C.K. said, it's coming from space....give it a second.
-
If the alternative is having no coverage at all in areas because of low ROI, is this preferable? To me, it is.

The Gilat webpage has some good info on Cellular Backhaul via Satellite and Small Cell Over Satellite. Be sure to read the SatMagazine articles which are referenced: 200Mbps TDMA VSAT for 3G/LTE Backhaul Small Cell Over Satellite: Connecting Rural Areas Cost Effectively
