I know there is hope on the network side , but on the business side you don't operate a loss YOY for over a decade ..you just don't Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

It really doesn't matter how much money softbank have or doesn't have .. doesn't mean much when sprint is a subsidiary company that is being publicly traded .. Softbank has been holding sprint for a while now at an opertaing loss The board and investors want answers or a return on investment and are getting neither. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

The rumor is based on sources familiar with the matter .. once you say sources familiar with the matter to me it's not a rumor anymore .. and you are correct , but softbank having to borrow 8 billion from that stake left people asking questions ( is softbank running out of cash ?) "Sources familiar with the matter " are saying softbank promoted these new rounds of merger talks .. days after it was rumored that brightstar is being put up for sale ( which is a marginal profit stake for sofbank ) and sprint also isn't making any profits until last quarter and that was peanuts .. so from and article that I read it looks the board is pressuring masa to cut of the least profitable businesses from his plan Sprint would cost/ take too much time to develope into a large profitable businesses cash cow as some would say Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Correct, but I would not trust that too much .. the board of softbank is putting a lot of pressure on Masa to get rid of sprint .. out of the 130 billion debt SoftBank Carry's almost 40 billion is coming from Sprint Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

This has still not been officially release if it was sprint or not .. could of been TMO or att with first net Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

It was listed as a rumor but sources are people familiar with the matter ( so, to me it's not a rumor the talks are official) .. a partnership with Sprint is tough.. sprint hasn't gained any yearly profits in over a decade in fact they just recently posted their first profits and in the wireless industry that amount of profits sprint posted most would consider peanutes.. based on sprints balance sheets there just isn't to much good/upside to pull from other then their spectrum..which at this point would only benefit tmo.. a merger may not get approved hell chances are very high the DOJ will block a horizontal merger .. hell there even fighting a vertical merger which they are usually in favor off (att time warner ) .. this smells like a low balled aqcusition to me Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

The thing i would be upset about is : we are a few days into sprints Q1 ( higher capex spending maybe 6,7,8 billion ) and they (sprint ) haven't even been giving a chance to execute and now merger talk are on again.... As Masa Said when he first entered the US market .. I see a vision for sprint, but it wasn't just sprint alone .. in almost mid 18 .. if sprint wants to have a competeing Network late 2019 early 2020.. that will cost a premium dollar that at the lowest spending 12 billon over 24 months wont solve .. SoftBank would need to pour in money to help sprint get over that humb Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Right , we've had 20+ permits ready since September last year untouched as of yet ... This is softbank starting the talks again not TMO Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

They won't .. I think this is really It.. I think everyone on sprint will soon be be a TMO customer Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

This Time I think it will happen ... Especially if this slows down sprint network plan again and softbank this time may even get a less percentage then before Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I think this time a deal will happen Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Everyone I think this time it will happen Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

It will happen overtime ( bit by bit #gettingbettereveryday) if you want better coverage sooner we all know that answer to that.. if your not going super rural sprint is fine imo Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I agree ! A few of the markets are starting to repeat ( markets sprint has been good in for some time now ). Now sprint is getting better within these markets, but would like to see other markets increase too. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Yup and after that statement ( was false) another lie came out and corrected by Marcelo that only 50% of site are running band 41 and not more that guenther had claimed a while before that.. and the efforts now are a bit late imo. Sprint has to spend top dollar 1 network 2 marketing 3 and all of this has to change their brand image.. in which sprint isn't that big of a company to be operating on a big scale like that ... If softbank can poor in a big boost then maybe Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

600mhz is far fetched, but I would have more confidence in their plan .. then anything that comes from Marcelo team.. the plan sounds good , but will the execute remains to be seen Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

So, let's say even if sprint works at the pace tmobile did they will still remain lightyears behind just like tmo is still behind in overall area covered. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

for the last decade all Sprint has done is talk in confidence then fail to deliver. For me it's “Just the same talk on a different day”.... can sprint finally once and for all delivery the kind of network they have been wanting to roll out Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

BIG CLAIMS Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Macrelo must be drinking some really good juice today Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Which is true , but from a marketing stand point a average consumer is going to look at sprint map of Kansas and say oh is this the only area they improved in.. and then look at TMO map .. wow look how much they have imporoved from 2015 until 2018. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

It's a bigger map, but it's looks pretty cool doing it like this Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Yes that will be nice so sprint can't wait Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Why not TMO does it .. they have a bigger map , but I can be done Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
