They wouldn't make much money though right away. Especially since it would take them a while to actually roll out service to these areas because they have to deal with local government permitting which always takes ages. I think there is a great opportunity to provide both cellular and home internet service in these areas which could be a big money maker but I don't think cellular alone would be worth their while.
-
They need to but I don't think that's the best idea right now. I think the best plan right now is to improve service in the cities where they would get the best return on investment.
-
Columbus I know for sure is one of them. @dkyeager can attest to this.

I'm curious about this as well. We're already seeing Massive MIMO antennas being deployed in other markets.

iPhones: "Extended 3G" vs "Extended Network 3G"
Brad The Beast replied to Brad The Beast's topic in General Topics
I think I've figured it out. I'm pretty sure "Extended Network 3G/LTE" is when you are in an "Extended" area. Then "Extended 3G/LTE" is when you are in a roaming area which is horribly confusing. -
I highly doubt the Sprint one. T-Mobile's maybe.
-
What is the difference between "Extended 3G/LTE" and "Extended Network 3G/LTE" on the status bar of an iPhone? Who controls whether it says "Extended" or "Roaming" in the status bar?
-
What happens now? Modifying the current T-Mobile roaming agreement to cover these areas?
-
Anyone have any updates for Project Cedar? Particularly in Missoula.
-
But mmWave is trash though. We can see that with Verizon's 5G launch flunk.
-
600MHz + 2.5GHz + 3.5GHz sounds glorious.
-
So I presume everyone else would want to jump in on that? Would Sprint jump in on it or just stay with 2.5GHz?
-
CBRS is 3.5GHz correct?
-
No.
-
I don't have either of those...
-
Not to be a jerk but he hasn't got much room to talk given Sprints coverage...
-
Yeah we're seeing the major weakness of mmWave.
-
Yeah but I can't find the report directly from Ookla. It's AT&T's "analysis" which they could've put a spin on.
-
Well it's AT&T's "analysis" of Speedtest data so I don't think this data is entirely accurate. It could be but I'm suspicious.
-
So it'll be forced VoLTE then. Ok, that'll be good.
-
It does but coverage is still severely lacking though.
-
I thought the roaming agreements with AT&T and T-Mobile were data only?
-
I'm curious as to what will happen with the Verizon roaming agreement since they are shutting down their CDMA network at the end of the year. They provide a lot of voice roaming coverage for Sprint.
-
US Cellular maybe? Totally dismantle towers and expand the roaming agreement? Or discontinue expansion in these areas and expand the roaming agreement? Become SoftBank US and do a total rebrand?
-
I was curious about that. Looking at the tower maps nothing really happened. Wonder what will happen to all the sites that are "New Site in Planning - On Air Date TBD". Wonder what they could actually do given their current situation?
