No, you don't understand. Greenbastard is the font of wisdom, he knows the truth about every industry, where every new macro, where small cell is going up and what degrees are held by whom in every industry. Bow to his wisdom. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Greenbastard. It doesn't matter if it is a one time cost, it matters that it is a cost. Also, there CAPEX spending seems to suggest sprint financial constrants are not "baloney" despite your all knowing wisdom. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

So, most macro sites are going up in subdivisions? I would be willing to bet you that isnt true. Most small cells I habe seen have been out side subdivisions and on city streets. So I dont know how sure you can be I am wrong. Lol Also, every site is a coat benefit analyst, raise the cost and more marginal areas are not going to see sites. You cant get something for nothing.

Well, speak for yourself. I am a home owner and NIMBY drive me nuts. I dont care about your personal aesthetic sensibilities, I care about having infurstructor running to my house. Wireless cites arent ofensive to me in the slightest, it would be like saying you dont want street lights because you dont like the way they look. In any case most of this stuff isnt going up in subdivisions but just out side of them or in parks and open areas with in them. So, what is the big deal? Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Hmmm.... You are not worth even talking to. I didn't blame sprint being broke on zoning laws, I simply pointed out that they face different constraints than T mobile. When you develop critical thinking skills I'll pay attention to your NIMBY complaints. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

No It doesn't. Ill try to make it simple, they aren't the same companies facing the same constraints. T mobile and sprint may have similar number of subs but look at their balance sheets and you'll quickly see different constraints. Nice try though. Bottom line I dont want to pay because you think something looks ugly. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Greenbastard Because vzw can do it doesnt mean sprint can do it too, the company face entirely different constraints and advantages. Verizon has over twice the customer base that Sprint does, they can eat the extra cost you impose. In any case, go FCC. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Freeways dont, airports don't. It is called infrastructure. In fact, your property rights dont even protect you in those cases. Look, I dont want to pay more for wireless service because of your sense of Aesthetics, I think that is fair. I dont find wireless towers ugly and I dont want to pay more or have cheap service because you do. And I definitely don't want to hear from people who drive up the costs of wireless service and deploying the network complain about their wireless service. If you want to know who is to blame, look in the mirror. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the NIMBY's point of view. I just wish you'd be consistent and not complain about bad service. Also, zoning laws are the result of government actions. If trump was a conservative he would be advocating getting rid of zoning laws. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

They do. Regulations and NIMBYs kill wireless infurstructor. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Find someone that still works on those is going to be tough. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

I dont think it will. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

I agree. I have yet to see any movement on small cell deployment and stoped getting b41 coverage in places I use to get it. Further, I have seen no 3xca anywhere in my area. It is extremely frustrating to see pieces like this given the rhetoric that has come out of marcelo's mouth. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Redspark I suspect Marcelo is being disingenuous there. The state of the network and his promises suggest they do have CAPEX constraints. Further, it suggests that the "taking the cost out of the business" initiative of Marcelo has had a great deal to do with that. In fact, that project illustraights the point quite clearly. He started out saying he would reduce costs with out touching CAPEX, in fact expanding it (project cedar and ocean). That turned into, it would not impact network densification and their new small cell strategy would allow them to spend less on their network while making number 1 or 2 in most major markets. That finally turned into, we didnt do anything for a year except CA and set up a couple of trial areas for new network strategies. I frankly cant understand why Marcelo has any credibility.

I havent forgot that, it just doesnt have any relevance to my point. Sprint didnt have the resources to bet on wimax and invest in their core network, the result was a decade of nearly zero network expansion and a deterioration of their 3g network. If their bet had paid off the world would look different, sure. It didnt though. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

There product is their network. Subcriber performance lags network quality both ways. We saw this clearly after NV and the years after Hesse decided to divert CAPEX away from the core networks and plow it into Wimax. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

They are not both thriving. Sprint hasn't turned a yearly profit in a decade and was only able to stabilize their balance sheet by starving their network again. I dont think there are many suitors for sprint because I think the market is quite clearly stating this is a three player market. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

When you are an infustructor company, in a dynamic industry, you have to spend money on your core product. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Does that mean that part of Sprint large hord of spectrum is currently useless? Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Or why not just put the addition carriers on air and do a series of 2xca. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

The amount of Sprint spectrum that remains unemployed is really amazing, especially since sprint keeps saying that it is cheap to do and there are growing number of areas that are over burned. I think this is my peraonal pain point with Sprint. Put the spectrum on air, for the love of god. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

I thought he was in baton rouge. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

What I really hope is that if it is a tie up with T mobile then the networks merge almost right away though a project fi type set up. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

I don think they'll put there network plans on hold until they have a tie up. It is already baked in to their forward guidance, thus "baked in". After that there will be a six months to year and half delay as they coordinate network plans and close the deal. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk
