The Att and TMobile merger would have left us with 2 large carriers and an underfunded Sprint. The Sprint and T-Mobile merger could provide a third strong competitive carrier. That seems like the difference to me. Is there another way to look at it?

Is it true that Sprint would need double the number of towers as Verizon and ATT to get the same coverage due to their lack of low band?

I don't see a standalone Sprint as a major competitor to the big two. A merger with Dish or someone else would probably take some significant time. The big winners would be the Verizon and ATT. Not sure that is best for the consumer. Just my opinion.

Didn't SoftBank have a provision where they would be required to buy all of the Sprint stock if they ever went over the 85% mark? I thought that was why they couldn't just put more money into Sprint. Just asking.

Thank you for the update.

Would Sprint have the money to implement 5g with their debt and low customer count? Just asking.

There are many phones out there that have all of the necessary bands to roam on either network. They range from inexpensive phones like my moto E series up to my lg7.

Has anyone found band 71 in the Hilton Head island area yet?

Very light rain for a few hours yesterday and virtually no wind in Beaufort SC. Dozens of cherry pickers and other power company maintenance vechicles gathering here yesterday. Praying for all of those who were/are not so fortunate.

We may not be out of harms way after all. Will keep an eye on the projected path.

They came by with a loudspeaker and told everyone to get out ... Then about an hour later the Governor cancelled the order to evacuate. Glad I stayed put.

Walmart covered their windows with plywood yesterday. We are not in the projected path of the eye, but people are getting ready.

I am near Hilton Head SC. It is projected to hit anywhere from Charleston (about 60 miles away) or on up the coast a couple hundred miles further North.

Looks like the hurricane eye may track north of me. I will report anything I see from this end. Praying for everyone in its path.
