    John Saw and the crew have really been making the rounds today!
  2. RedSpark
    Yes. Agreed. This speed test shows the stark difference between LTE and 5G:

    I hope we get an update on official VoLTE support at some point soon. Forgive me, but it seems a bit ridiculous that Sprint’s talking about launching 5G when VoLTE isn’t officially available nationwide or on popular phones like the S9/S9+/Note 9/Pixel 3 series, etc.
  5. RedSpark
    Indeed. That’s a great start.

    This is the upload speed achieved during a 5G drive test in Overland Park...

    Soon!

    If you were ever curious about how many Sprint shares John Saw owned: https://rocklandregister.com/2019/05/30/john-saw-sells-22866-shares-of-sprint-corp-s-stock.html It may be restating the obvious, but there’s a strong financial incentive for this merger to go through for a number of folks. Aside from being against the merger because it will permanently reduce competition in the market, part of me wants the merger to fail and Masa to be stuck holding the bag on Sprint, not just out of spite, but because I don’t want him to have an easy exit due to his mismanagement of Sprint.

If they fail to meet these commitments, they will voluntarily pay into a fund in lieu of other enforcement action.

    I’ve gotten so used to VoLTE on my iPhone XS that I can’t imagine not having it. I’m just stunned at the delays.
  17. RedSpark
    This is getting ridiculous. What’s the reason for the hold up?
  18. RedSpark
    That’s the upload on 5G? Really?
  19. RedSpark
    That’s crazy it’s taking so long for VoLTE to launch on the S9/Note 9. So if the S9 was the Test device (and I think it had to be based on the test cycle) it was running on CDMA for voice.
  20. RedSpark
    True. I’m curious what Test devices were used. Does the S9 support VoLTE at this point? (I know the S8 and S10 do.) If an S9 was used, it speaks to the state of Sprint’s CDMA Network during testing. Otherwise if an S10 (or iPhone XS/Max) was used with VoLTE enabled, you’re spot on about VoLTE being launched. Otherwise, it was pulling the same CDMA.
  21. RedSpark
    Is Sprint planning to use 5G for both download and upload? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Verizon is using 5G for download but LTE for upload.
  22. RedSpark
    So what’s the point of a “merger deadline”? Does it actually mean anything?
  23. RedSpark
    If the merger isn’t consummated by the 7/29/2019 deadline, would T-Mobile be on the hook for the $600 Million Breakup Fee?: https://www.axios.com/t-mobile-could-owe-sprint-600-million-if-it-walks-away-647826e9-afc9-41e4-86bb-7d8dd8fafb5f.html
  24. RedSpark
    Perhaps he’s looking at the calendar as the Merger deadline for Sprint/T-Mobile is July 29, 2019: https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/29/t-mobile-sprint-merger-deadline-delay/ Would they keep pushing this back?
  25. RedSpark
    Wow! 😮 Two thoughts: Masa: Your move. Michele: Looks like you’re sticking around as CEO.
