    I thnk Son has been reading my posts . I have long advocated that Sprint, either in cooperation with Dish or on their own, offer broadband on the EBS spectrum. I would not put it past Son if he offers this plus the ability to match Verizon coverage where he is not held back by the IBEZ.

    I see the same malaise at Sprint that I see at a lot of other companies in the US. Management by CYA, pass the buck, don't rock the boat, don't stick your neck out, be a good team member. Sometimes you need to chew some people out in front of other people to get their attention.

    I like it. New blood, although Saw is a Clearwire leftover!

    Someway or another, Sprint and Dish will be involved in somekind of tie-up. Sprint could not make a business of of the wireless cable (BRS), but maybe with the help of Dish, they can ....

    I'm never going on contract again. Ever!

    I really want to see what Dish does with this spectrum and its other spectrum. They will have to use either T-Mobile or Sprint to host it, most probably Sprint. But if they are having ambitions of OTT play, I am not sure that what they have is enough. Plus what they wanted to do with their own spectrum in conjunction with the Lightsquared spectrum is now moot (reverse uplink and downlink). It's going to be interesting.

    China only has three, Japan only has three, and Korea only has three carriers

    Serves the feds right...

    Our ex-WISP gave us great service with Canopy radios on 900MHz. If he ever left his configuration alone he's still be our ISP.

    On the communications side, it positions Sprint to use its BRS/EBS spectrum holdings as wireless broadband and not just for mobile phones. As we speculated, the problem will be both the fronthaul (from the C-RAN) to the antennas but backhaul (from the C-RAN to the backbone). Which brings me to what I have been advocating for a long time. Sprint/Softbank needs to buy some fiber loops owning companies. Pronto!!!! Can you imagine the savings in rent from adopting this kind of archtecture?

    Wow, talking about a revolution!

    And the bids add exactly to the reserve price. I wonder who the winner is?

    While at first glance it looks like nothing more than CoMP in conjunction with CloudRAN, CoMP achieves its interference mitigation by basically coordinating the assignment of certain subcarriers to user devices at the CloudRan level. Which part of the LTE-Advanced spec therefore patented under FRAND. There is more than that goes on in the Artemis Networks system. They have filed for more than 100 patents. I wish I had the time to look at them all and try to decipher. I think I will wait for the white paper and then also wait for any independent lab and real world tests.

    On some of the higher floors of skyscrapers there might not be coverage, particularly if the antennas are on the roof of a lower building because of the downtilt. So it could happen....I have no idea if it did happen.

    Dish does not have massive amounts of spectrum, Sprint does. As far as the tech giants are concernerned, they are probably more open to a disruptive model than are the carriers. I hope that Sprint and Tmobile hop aboard.

    Steve mentioned Apple and Google in his interview with Bloomberg TV. Apple, get off your behind and invest in infrastructure!
  17. bigsnake49
    He said it had nothing to do with communications.

    I'm also very intrigued by something that Steve said during the Columbia demo about the application of the concept to non-communication areas and said it was mindblowing. Anybody care to speculate what that might be? This concept is definitely a major breakthrough!
  19. bigsnake49
    Yes, the possibilities are endless. The problem is backhaul.
  20. bigsnake49
    It will be a blockbuster for everybody involved. A lot of intense negotiations still going on. If egos don't get in the way!
  21. bigsnake49
    Charile is definitely getting something out of the deal. So does Sprint and I don't mean overpaying for T-Mobile. A lot of moving parts to this one.
  22. bigsnake49
    First of all, many thanks to Artemis Networks for participating in the discussion and answering questions. Don't be a stranger !

    Sprint has plenty of spectrum, so even without pCell they will not be starved. With all of the spectrum they own and all the capacity inherent in this technology, is it time for Sprint to become an OTT video provider. I mean, what are you going to do with all this bandwitdh except stream video? Wireless cable, anyone? Would it make sense to team up with Dish since Dish already has the content deals?
  24. bigsnake49
    I would love to know exactly how it works, but then as long as it does, they don't have to tell me .
  25. bigsnake49
    They definitely were testing on band 41 spectrum as well.
