    Where's the Corleon family when you need them?

    I don't see them switching back to sprint. Companies don't switch suppliers unless the current supplier is not meeting needs. If Verizon's speeds are good enough for this guys company, why would they switch? Maybe for lower price but Verizon is probably already giving them discounts and sprint wants to maintain certain margins. This company will be in Verizon's arms forever. Too bad. 65k phones is a lot of revenue.

    At my company, they use ATT and Verizon. Interestingly, IT told me they prefer Verizon because their automated menu is simpler for making changes to employee accounts.

    At least everyone else's speeds will increase lol.

    How do wireless companies decide the split between dividends and investments? As a reference, TDS/USM said: On its Q2 earnings call, TDS' executives outlined a 75%-25% split in deploying capital; 75% would go towards investments in the business, both organic and inorganic, and the remaining 25% would be returned to shareholders, via both buybacks and dividends http://m.seekingalpha.com/article/1605492

    The problem is sprint could finish/expand faster with more Soft money.
  7. maximus1987/lou99
    They can. They won't. It's business. Why can't DT give TMO more $$$? They own 74% and are in similar situation as SoftBank. Business. They give them $5bil.
  8. maximus1987/lou99
    He have them $5bil, could've been $8bil if it weren't for Charlie. He figures with the clearwire acquisition and TDD everywhere, sprint should at least be able to get better loan terms.

    How did Comcast block them?

    Finally! Thanks for posting this article. Confirmation of coverage plans. If the network isn't good, customers are going to complain, Mr. Son said, adding that Sprint will seek to pull even with Verizon in high-speed coverage in about two years.
  11. maximus1987/lou99
    Wow. $8bil next year and no SoftBank help. Yowza!

    We've found that there is considerable possibility for cutting costs," Mr. Son said Sprint employees are gonna be squeezed. Japanese companies - yes I've worked for one and all my peers agree - are brutal when it comes to personnel costs. The upside is that consumers are gonna benefit.

    That's why the carriers will never allow this without apple going thermonuclear on them.
  15. maximus1987/lou99
    They don't NEED 3 bands. Look how ATT is densifying its 700 MHz to makeup for its lack of nationwide AWS. Someone here said that ATT is on every tower in their area but sprint is only on every other tower. Also, ATT is deploying 40,000 small cells to take care of capacity problems. ATT ???probably??? wont even deploy WCS everywhere, not even as widely as VZW is deploying AWS.
  16. maximus1987/lou99
    No it's way different. With current sims, if you have a sim from carrier X, you can only connect to network X. Apple wants to be able to dynamically switch from TMO to sprint to ATT to VZW to etc as often as it wants to. This would turn cell service into an auction: the iphone would broadcast "hey orifices! Give me your best price" and the iphone would choose automatically the lowest price. If you're in an urban area, your iphone will choose TMO. If you're in countryside, it would redo the auction and choose VZW or ATT (or maybe sprint if they buildout).

    I'm on 1x. What is it?
  18. maximus1987/lou99
    What?
  19. maximus1987/lou99
    Obviously, no carrier anywhere wants virtual sims. http://m.intomobile.com/2011/11/04/apple-patents-idea-virtual-sim-card-operators-around-world-freak-out/ What's it gonna take for this tech to make it into a phone? Apple could play hardball and withhold the iphone unless an operator allows it but that seems unlikely. Is there a business case for operators to be in favor of v-sims?

    Here's where cricket (and everyone else) has AWS licenses. http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=99&p=1495
  21. maximus1987/lou99
    We already have a thread for the 1755-1780.
  22. maximus1987/lou99
    VZW AWS in SOME markets? It has AWS everywhere. They also bought spectrumco licenses. http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=99&p=1495 What I don't get is why VZW doesn't densify like ATT.

    With the IBEZ issue, will your phone "know" it's in the IBEZ and not scan at all for 800?
  24. maximus1987/lou99
    Lucky you. Stupid ibeZ.
  25. maximus1987/lou99
    For the 2600 filling in, will that be using small cells or macro? Someone should start a small cells thread and explain how it's gonna be different compared to a macro site. Pictures would be nice.
