Thanks for adding absolutely nothing to the conversation.

Sprint and Tmobile are not going to lie to regulators. The risks are too great. Even if it lead to 10000 jobs lost the economy has been adding 100000s a month. Chill out.

I don't know what you mean. It is business. GM is paying for bad strategic decisions. And if these employees are to lose their jobs now is the best time in the past 20 years for them to do so. The economy is adding manufacturing jobs like crazy.

Jobs are being lost all the time. The jobs numbers you see reported are NET. That means minus jobs lost plus jobs added.

Not going to have anything to do with Sprint /T-Mobile. Different industries and the fact that GM can't sell their cars doesn't mean much in the overall economic picture by itself.

It wasn't criminal neglect it was a bad bet on the Nextel merger and Wimax. Sprint was doomed by those strtegic missteps.

That is the point. They can't so they won't stay relevant. They will go bust or become a leap wireless, strickly focused on the low end. Lets hope this goes through.

I dont know what they mean exactly. The networks have already been combined in project fi. A great deal of both subscriber bases have phones that can use either spectrum. From the end user point of view I dont see what would take three years.

Maybe. But he isn't a charity. There was better use for his capital than investing in a Sprint with T-mobile.

It wasn't that he didn't invest the capital is was that he couldn't. The convents with the banks he got the loans from to buy sprint would allow him to sink more money into sprint with out paying them off first.

Like texing and driving, uploads can wait. Very few people care that something up loads instantly. Why woulf they, the point of uploading something is that people can view it whenever.

Whatvare you talking about? For the vast majority of people, spring's upload speeds work fine. Your complete inability to separate you needs from the vast majority of people and tendency to generalize your experience to the majority of people makes talking to you extremely annoying.

Then sprint isnt for you. 99 percent of people don't care. Stop complaining about it and use a service that fits you needs.

You only had to look at the fact that they cut CAPEX in 2016 and 2017 to understand what was going on. The point where Marcelo misled/lied to investors about their network investments in 2015/16 was the breaking point for me. I think the only reason the FEC didn't slap fines on him was because he misled with the consent of Softbank, the majority share Holder. Sprint has a choice: they can be the discount carrier and be unable to invest in their network, they can invest in their network and loss subs by keeping their prices competitive, some magic fairy can come and dump a ton of money in their laps and not care about what kind of ROI they get or merge with T mobile. I favor the merger because it offers the best chance for utilizing all of sprint 2.5 resources. Here we are, over 4 years after soft bank bought both Sprint and clear, with less than 50 percent of sprint's 2.5 spectrum having been deployed. How anyone can think this company can be a viable 4th competitor on it's own is beyond me.

Whocares? Why do you care if it takes an hour or 20 mins to upload your photos? Are there people on the internet breathlessly refreshing what ever page you are uploading to, hoping to be the first to see these photos? If so, you are unique and sprint is not a good pick for your needs. But 99 percent of people wouldn't care.

I think it is clear that everything here is opinion. I think it is also clear that everything anyone ever says in the future tense is opinion. But good looking out.

Well, you didnt write it.

If you arent stremaing the video why do you care how fast it uploads?

Sprint can not succeed as an idependant company. The required investment is too high and the return isnt there.

Here we are with a company that is limping along and is not likely to make the kinds of investments it needs to make to have a competitive network, just like a year ago. If you add subs at the price of topline revenue growth you are eating your future.

Not with the kind investment they will need to make. Top line revenue isnt growing. Cash flow has been improving do to operating cost reduction. You can't cut your way to growth, it has never happened and never will.

They wont be able to compete. I don't why anyone thinks that a company has: the highest debt load in the industry, falling service revenue, the worst margins in the industry, the worst scale in the industry and spectrum assets that require a denser macro network than the competition, stands a chance as an independent player. It is merger or irrelevancy for Sprint.

I dont think sprint will have a strong 5g network. They will have a 5g network and it will be somewhat more dense in some markets than today but they dont have the resources to do it right. That has been their problem since the Nextel merger.

Turned into? Everything that requires government approval is an ass kissing contest. It is called, regulatory capture.

He once worked for Verizon, he is not currently a verizon "agent". That would imply that he is taking payments from Verizon and unless you have evidence to that effect that comes close to libel.
