I agree, government is open for 20 days .. I expect John and Marcelo to be spotted in Washington again over these next three weeks.. if government does close again.. I think the rules state that no matter how long the government is shut down the fcc will be given another 3-6 months after the shut down to keep reviewing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Day 3 of the co location crews still at the site Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sprint co location taking place in El Paso.. I’ll get better pics, but I hope it’s not a band 25 only set and received band 41/26 later.. hope they add it all to the site Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The site is at the Marriott hotel on Montana and airway .. the only 2 panels that are visible on each side are the 2 in this picture.. the rack on the top is T-mobiles Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya that why I asked .. sprint removed that antenna and placed this ticket phat one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes brand new .. this was a Nokia site prior Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup it’s weird and could also delay new phones from being released on time.. idk how both companies will take this delay as it will hurt their collective business the longer it takes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe these are free from sprint .. so if it’s a sale on eBay then I would consider this a scam Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sprint going back to band 41 sites and installing new panels.. this is the most active sprint has ever been lol this panel I haven’t seen before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I take nether side serious, both Neville and John know they can’t put up enough capex as individual companies to push a broad 5G network at the beginning.. this is all talk as if they were merged companies already .. Heck, the other day Neville was presented with a 40 billion dollar check knowing that money won’t be available to him until the merger is approved and cleared Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After the plan that att released today $70 bucks 15GB for 5G .. I think we will be okay Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya, they both will claim expected coverage on most of these .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well for now if tmo has lte service there you would connect to that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup, ether way the sprint customer is going to get a better network .. merger or not .. carry the same amount of capex into fiscal 19 should work wonders for sprint and might actual show native coverage expansion . Sprint has 4 years of T-mobile roaming and can close the gap in the 4 years it took tmo 5 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dish is well in the process of rolling out the spectrum .. in the last week many people report seeing tons of dish network wireless tower permits on their local tower pages Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Me too, I wonder if sprint would have even raised capex if it wasn’t for a possible merger .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any divesture makes this merger pointless to me.. both companies are merging to become stronger to compete with att and Verizon not to become weaker in the process Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya, it’s just seems like everything discussed behind closed doors is coming to light .. TMO: we will spend big in the 600mhz auction dont worry. sprint: don’t worry we will raise our capex And have all of our sites ready with band 41 / some mimo equipment.. so all you gotta do is move the equipment to your sites... Tmo/Sprint: we will both participate in the mmwave auction it’s a win win . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tmo must of been very confident that this merger would get approved.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, he implied that current sprint customers would be given the choice to switch to the new TMO. So, if sprint no longer exists.. I would say a customer at that point has the choice to go on to the new TMO network based on a better deal and carry their phone over as a switch and tmo pay it off or can switch to another provider. Although, there isn’t any direction or strategy on that yet I think that how it would go . He even said sprint stores would remain after merger if approved and people would walk in and sign up for TMo plans Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Again, I posted it earlier , but Braxton carter said: at the beginning if merger is approved sprint customers will remain on the sprint network and resume as normal.. anyone new signing up with sprint will automatically be placed on the TMO network.. Once TMO feels enough capacity is added to the network ( current sprint customer) become free agents and can sign up with the new TMO( which is believe current sprint customers will receive an enticing deal). Those were Braxton Carter’s words at a conference.. So, sprint customers will not be able to keep there plans according to this strategy. TMO roaming will remain open to sprint customers as well in the mean time .. as T-Mobile works on integrating the networks.. also , the new T-Mobile will become a self funded company They will issue bonds in dollars and Euros for $19 billion of debt refinancing, $4 billion for liquidity, $7 billion for loan B debt. This includes bi-lateral with Deutsches Telekom, for a total of $19 Billion. That will give the new T-Mobile $70 billion in high yield debt. They do have consents for Sprint and T-Mobile bond holders. This article also mention $10 billion of integration spending. So, expect higher pricing , as the new tmo is going to be spending big money the first few years into the merger https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2018/12/10/t-mobile-braxton-carter-sprint-takeover-strategy.amp.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It has been stated in their strategy that once merger approved .. current sprint customers will remain on the sprint network and anyone signing up new will automatically get put on the tmo network.. and one tmo feels enough capacity is on the network ( via integration) then sprint customers will be moved over to the new T-Mobile Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How is sprint doing in Albuquerque? I’ve been checking out some 3rd party testing and it looks like sprint has dropped speed again in Albuquerque by a significant margin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
