  1. Numbers aren’t great .. 169 thousand in gains most of this is coming from prepaid migrations without this they only do 40K +. At a loss of 189K.. tough times at sprint.. and another loss of 539m free cash flow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Idk why articles are using the term DOJ and approve. I though the DOJ can’t approve or disapprove.. I thought they can only sue to block if the FCC ends up approving the deal. I know the DOJ can send signal that they don’t like the deal and the FCC usually follow that lead, but not the other way around Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. IMO, when sprint launches this it will also launch volte nationwide as well around the same time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. No way they spend resources and time fighting this any longer. And on top of that more mid band spectrum has been made available.. so, Verizon and att are going to bid heavy on it.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. With their spectrum (2.5) sprint could have the last laugh if they are serious and get away from their failing mentality. They could have a premium 5G network, but it would come at a cost to the consumer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. As I recall .. SoftBanks banks are not allowing them to pour in anymore money in to sprint Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. it’s sad to say, but SoftBank is looking for a bailout by any means necessary. In a note to investors, New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu estimated that Sprint would need a $20 billion capital injection if the merger doesn’t go through.. In a filing with the Federal Communications Commission on Monday, Sprint said it suffered from a “huge debt load” of $40 billion and cited an analyst’s report saying Sprint “could restructure their balance sheet through a Chapter 11 process” in U.S. bankruptcy court.

  8. The merger is facing more and more uncertainty. That T-mobile is now looking more seriously at how they can deploy 5G using AWS-3.. https://www.mobileworldlive.com/featured-content/top-three/t-mobile-seeks-more-time-for-mid-band-5g-tests/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Yes, most carriers that claim nationwide coverage of 5G. There networks just aren’t as big as ours in the us or have to cover as much land for that matter. Verizon runs one of the largest networks in the world. China does not have rules in place like we do.. carriers just can’t put towers/small cells wherever they please.. I don’t think we can beat China to 5G based on those rules and smaller networks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Wonder what he’s waiting on. They would have been bought that spectrum by now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Let’s give it the benefits of the doubt.. it’s still early still more optimizations to add, a better phone without a mod is coming. I think with the new Samsung galaxy S10 5G and as Verizon adds more tech to the 5G nodes. It will be better in the coming months Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. How expensive is it to roll out mmwave? The articles I’ve read say that small cells are cheaper to rollout within dense urban markets( and at times the only option). I think the concern are suburban markets and offering 5G coverage nationwide.
  13. The good thing is TMO is leveraging the LAA (using small cells)spectrum to boost speeds on LTE which in return will bring much better performs on that... I think 5G is long term game ( very long term). I think LTE will still be important for years to come. So, I’m still excited to see TMO boost performance of its LTE network and sprint doing the same.

  14. The official report isn’t out, but “the findings come from third party network-testing company Ookla, which cited AT&T's top average US download speed at 40.7Mbps.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. A buddy said this to me : it’s simple, the merger was always in mind and it’s harder to mergers 2 companies that are doing well. So, one company has to show significant loses for the merger to make sense. Masa, wanted them to merge from the very beginning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I agree, and now Braxton carter is leaving TMO. So, I think softbank just need to hang in their and it’s investment If any will be worth it. Now that numbers are looking better SoftBank should be able to convince banks/investors that it’s ok for them to invest money into sprint Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Just one more year of a 5-6 billion dollar investment would makes sprint network just that much better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I doubt they spend resources and time on this... att took 3 years I believe .. this will put att and Verizon way ahead In the 5G race and pushes all of tmo timelines back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Yup, options for sprint. And now with better numbers .. SoftBank May be able to convince the bank that they can invest in sprint and not lose the money Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Yup, I think they will use the word we are VIRTUALLY complete with the 2.5 rollout.. TMO did the same with their band 12 rollout Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Once they get to 80% and above I Believe they can say we are virtually complete with 2.5 rollout Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Yup, and Walmart has more stores in most cities .. so, sprint could double their retail footprint just by doing this in most cities.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Sprint needs to restructure the debt and it could be more aggressive and build the network. SoftBank need to help a bit if no merger.. Sprint spends $2.6 billion per year servicing its debt. Imagine if they had that cash to plow into network. Sprint will be fine. They just need to make a commitment and stick to it .. news are very negative today and many people believe if it goes to court sprint nor tmo will spend time and resources necessary to fight in court Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. 17 states are preparing to oppose the merger.. also this doesn’t help there argument . https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2019-03-14/directv-to-hike-prices-after-owner-at-t-promised-cheaper-bills?__twitter_impression=true Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
