Just noticed this article: DGP upgrades Levi’s Stadium DAS in preparation for Super Bowl 50
Fantastic news on this for Sprint... Could it be two carriers of 2.5 GHz?...
Nice...

Sprint continues to surprise everyday it seems... They don't have a reality problem as much as a perception problem.
Considering there's a 30MHz Reserve, a 10x10 is most likely to happen from what I can tell. And if they don't get it, they'll likely never have another bite at the apple. In order to have economical rural deployments beyond CCA partnerships, it seems to me that Sprint really needs to do this.
And Best Buy too....
Subsidy lives! I'll bet those EDF 1500 customers are pretty darn happy right about now.
Marcelo also said Sprint would decide whether to participate in the upcoming 600MHz Spectrum Auction in the next couple of weeks.
Just heard two interesting points....
1) Other "Forever" Programs are coming for other brand devices.
2) iPhone for $1 on a 2 Year Contract at Target
Did I hear this correctly?
Great RCR Wireless interview with Tracy Nolan, President and General Manager Of Illinois and Wisconsin for Sprint.
They cover a bunch of interesting topics including Sprint's Chicago Network investments for LTE-Advanced and her specific role in building Sprint's Network/Retail/Distribution there.
Tune in today: http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-releases/sprint-ceo-marcelo-claure-to-speak-sept-17-at-goldman-sachs-communacopia-conference.htm
"Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Claure will speak at the Goldman Sachs 24th Annual Communacopia Conference in New York City on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 4:35 PM ET. A live audio webcast of this session may be accessed at www.sprint.com/investors. The replay will be available shortly after the actual presentation."
Hopefully some more tidbits on Sprint's progress.
If you haven't already seen it, this
with Sprint's Marcelo Claure and Cisco's Chuck Robbins from the recent CTIA Super Mobility Conference is definitely enjoyable viewing. Go Sprint Go!
Some interesting news:

One-year term begins Jan. 1, 2016.
Exactly. Per the last paragraph of the letter (http://newsroom.sprint.com/blogs/sprint-perspectives/an-open-letter-to-our-friends-at-att-and-directv.htm), the next 24 hours should be very interesting. I don't see Marcelo or Kevin backing down.
I have a feeling the FCC/FTC would be interested in this...
Sprint: AT&T won’t let us advertise to DirecTV customers

Here's the published letter Sprint sent to AT&T: http://newsroom.sprint.com/blogs/sprint-perspectives/an-open-letter-to-our-friends-at-att-and-directv.htm
AT&T... Now with more censorship!
Looking forward to reading the article and sidebar. I assume the RF performance specs are something that both Apple and Sprint are keenly aware of during the device testing/certification phase?
That's surprising, especially because the "S" versions are usually tweaked for improved performance.
Really interested to know your take on why this happened. New 7000 series aluminum?
I'm in the same situation but one year in on a two year contract on an Unlimited My Way Family Plan with 5 lines... I have a 128GB iPhone 6. What are my upgrade options?
Sprint seemed to indicate on the My Account page that I qualified for a lease upgrade for a new device. However, what's the Loyalty Credit amount, and does this make sense to do? Would appreciate thoughts. Thanks!

3 Channel CA will be amazing.
I thought I heard that Sprint was deploying CA to all sites, not just select ones.
