  1. Sir, 1. My opinion is shared by many who spoke on hindsight, just like you are. 2. The broadcasters were pretty much got screwed by the FCC and Wheeler. From being sold on the auction extravaganza to the 39 month timeline to move their airwaves. 3. This spectrum is far more valuable than the AWS auction. To say that this auction is still a success, excluding the AWS auction is just plain wrong. Wheeler should have seen the demand was just not there. Especially carriers just spent a crap load to acquire spectrum.
  2. haha...thank you! I just learned to skip his posts to be civilized. It's like reading senseless thought after thought. OMFG!
  3. uhh....It was a flop. Let's face the facts. Former FCC Chairman sold this auction like it was the "mother" of all auctions to the broadcasters and the demand was just not there for them from the carriers. I can quote you a lot of analysts who expected this auction to generate a crap load of billions. Noone, I mean NOONE expected the auction to get less than 20B. To deny that this auction was not a flop is living beyond your reality.
  4. The snapshot pic is from Tmo. Let's look somewhere with independent results. Sprint is doing well even without MIMO and 256.
  5. My opinion in wireless is the opposite of what you believe with net neutrality. I don't discuss politics.
  6. You are not a current customer. Therefore, you will be a new customer. Unless you have past dues bills that could trip you up upon porting back.
  7. go do some research and read the earnings call transcript and news about Sprint. don't call for proof without doing your own research.
  8. They have enough cash to spend more on Capex. It's a matter of spending it to their strategy. Marcelo has said just because they have money, that means they are going to spend like they did in the past. It's a matter of spending it wisely (better ROI). That's why they have been using more diverse equipment choices (small cells), rather than just put Sprint gear on every tower.
  9. Negative cash flow is after interest expense of 600 million. Positive operating cash flow of 300 million. Liquidity of 6B on the books and lines of credit for another 3B. They have 3B in debt due in 2017. The way this is going, Sprint will be positive FCF in 2 quarters.
  10. prepaid is already port positive in December. These numbers are from last quarter, stale data. You have to look at the numbers and listen to the earnings call to see the direction of the company. That's why the stock is up this morning.
  11. Verizon is already wanting to merge to Charter. The industry is getting interesting very quick. S stock is up, who am I to complain.
  12. What do you mean most Sprint customers do not live anywhere near Charter? Charter owns TWC and Brighthouse aka Spectrum network. Do you live in Canada? The wireline-wireless synergy is obvious and a good price point for Softbank to acquire. Tmo could only give them scale, but Charter gives them a strong backbone to build out a 5G network with less $.
  13. It's the artists that are on Tidal. They are also part owners. You buy their partnership. Think MJ or Kobe, but on a smaller scale with many of those nba stars in one place.
  14. The earnings next Tuesday will tell the whole story. Whether Sprint is confident to actually spend money again or this could be a reckless spend. However, the $200 million is actually a good bargain for 3 million users and the company is worth at 600 million. If they were later sold to another company for 2 billion or more, this will be a prudent investment by Sprint and Marcelo.
  15. I hVe tested at about 4 3xca sites close to work and the house. Speeds are about 70 to 100% more. Highest is 80 down and 12 up. I am going to hit the 2xca sites this weekend where i used to hit 100+ down to see anything has changed.

  18. New York was awesome. I didn't do any speedtests, but I was in Midtown, uptown and downtown over mlk weekend. I got signal (b26) inside the MET. In my hotel on the 30th+ floor, I had b41 signal. Everything loads so fast. I was able to watch a video (480p) inside a theater on broadway during intermission.
  19. I was in the Merritt island a couple weekends ago. All B25 10x10, no b41. Speeds were more than usable. Hope jacksonville will get b25 10x10 at least by midyear.
