Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread
tyroned3222 replied to Nextel49's topic in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment
I agree, a reuter article came out earlier Source here: https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1KR22P?__twitter_impression=true The approval period could last longer then a year.. Now my take on might be called crazy , but this gives Sprint time and a roaming agreement from tmo that will help with customer satisfaction could lower their churn and help them gain market share. Now I'm not saying that softbank did it this way to buy them time, but 6-12 months (possibly longer)in the wireless industry is a long time lots can change.. Sprint is making strides as shown by John saw and the improvements at the Yankees stadium today... Sprint could make some great strides on their wireless network... Market share is important, but the wireless industry isn't going anywhere and there is always room to grow.. I think Sprint need to start offering unlimited hotspot and better push on marketing and I think it will work .. just my opinion Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk -

I agree, but this is the first we are actually seeing Sprint put money behind this network and rootmetrics is already showing early signs of Sprint improving drastically.. and I'm sure more will come soon Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk -

I'd still like to see Sprint give a shot on their own with recent numbers and network advancements. Just to see what they can really do , but it may be too late at this point Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk -
After studying the Sprint-T-Mobile proposal for more than three months, the Department of Justice, while not yet making a decision on the merger, now believes there needs to be three carriers to establish a true competitive marketplace, according to a source with direct knowledge of the thinking within the DOJ.

This is where El paso stands currently: Total macro site count: 60 Total small cell count: 26 Total upgrades complete (b41/b26): 25 out of 60 upgrades are complete. All upgrades are 8t8r equipment. I'm still checking the ones across fort bliss to see if those have been upgraded. Small cell count: 14 small cells: band 25 only 12 small cells: band 41 Total 26 Spoke with staff at the hospital Sprint DAS hasn't been upgraded... So must still be 3G/b25 only Band 26 site equipment and RRUS are ready just waiting to be cleared and turned on.. most band 41 sites are live and in the middle of being optimized Will be updating this through out the day trying to make this as accurate as possible.. as I don't have any offical tower maps Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Network Vision/LTE - Phoenix Market (including Flagstaff, Prescott)
tyroned3222 replied to MaxPower's topic in Markets
Any updates on Phoenix... I heard its a 5G launch market.. should have a lot of work going on there Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk -
Sprint would be eligible to receive the payment if the two companies don’t close the deal by April 29, 2019 (with the option to extend that time frame pending regulatory approval), and if Sprint has indicated that it is ready and willing to complete the merger by that date. That is an interesting choice of an If.. and if Sprint has indicated that it is ready and willing to complete the merger by that date... I doubt Sprint is worried about the 600 million imo.. as long as they get the roaming I think Sprint will walk away happy https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2018/08/03/sprint-tmobile-merger-breakup-fee-catch-22.amp.html?__twitter_impression=true Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Ya it's crazy .. they started that work last year on a few sites bringing Mini macros .. then earlier in the year. They started pushing 8t8r sites and now upgrades are going up daily sometimes even 2 sites at the same time .. at this pace sprint could be done with El paso eoy Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

El paso started with mm at the begining of the rollout .. now as of recent they have gone back to those site a have added full 8t8r equipment.. also the last full nokia site is getting a rip and replace to Ericsson equipment.. also, all sites now are getting b26 should be turned on any month now .. Sprint is picking random tower to upgrade.. all the sites that have been touched.. Sprint still hasn't upgrade the mall tower still b25 only and a few other higher traffic areas still b25 only for now Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Interesting quarter for Sprint. Around 65/66% towers are now complete with 2.5.. roaming is being turned on, but not widespread enough to give any updates on it. No info on when they will turn on volte.. 1.1 billion for the quarter caught me by surprise.. wanna see what you guys think?? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

for Sprint we expect 63K postpaid phone net adds aided by an estimated 40K prepaid( Boost) -to-postpaid migration similar to last quarter.” why spend money on marketing for new postpaid consumers if all you are doing is harvesting your'e prepaid base seems like a waste of money?
