    Verizon to start refarming PCS spectrum for LTE in 2015 Operator says its LTE network is complete and covers more than 99% of 3G network footprint Read more: Verizon to start refarming PCS spectrum for LTE in 2015 - FierceWireless http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/verizon-start-refarming-pcs-spectrum-lte-2015/2013-06-27#ixzz2bzNv8ln2 Subscribe at FierceWireless Verizon is also close to deploying AWS. It bought a bunch in 2006 and again recently.

    Coverage will improve internal to their existing coverage maps. I haven't read that they're adding a crazy number of towers.

    How is sprint supposed to compete when sometimes it's prices aRe higher for exact same service? 2x iPhones, 2x 1GB data, 1x slider phone Verizon after 22% discount: $133 Sprint after 22% discount: $151 And they won't even match Verizon's total price FOR THE EXACT SAME THING.

    Not true regarding "every other carrier on one band"ATT - 700, aws, pcs, WCS VZW - 700, AWS, pcs TMO - AWS, pcs

    NV itself produces marginal coverage improvements cause of the tower mounted antennas. If you're nowhere near sprint coverage, no amount of NV ON CURRENT TOWERS ONLY will help that. However, it will help you as you're describing yourself as "on the edge of sprint's network"

    I'm really surprised no one commented on how TMO will not expand LTE or 3G past 228 mil until they get 600 MHz. That means they're going two+ years without 3g/lte pops expansion. They'd be leaving 15k rural towers with only 2g. Does TMO expect to be able to survive slowly losing customers till 2016?

    700 is useless A block. 850 is good. 1700/2100 AWS is useful but sprint wouldn't own enough to make it worth it. 1900 pcs very useful.

    You mean lowest. 0 > -40 > -80 > -115

    Sprint has A LOT of excess capacity. Sprint should be able to grow revenue, given that they have 35% of industry capacity in a capacity constrained market with just 15% of industry revenues," wrote New Street's Chaplin. "Sprint will use its capacity and network speed advantage to take share. If they gain 5% of share in five years, they would create an additional $6.92/share in value."

    Any guesses what uncarrier 3.0 is? But during the carrier's earnings conference call, T-Mobile's Legere promised the carrier will unveil "Un-carrier 3.0" sometime "soon," and while he was vague on what that would entail, he said it "will solve another customer pain point." I'm betting this has something to do with family plans or shared data, products that have helped tie customers to AT&T and Verizon.

    Analysts say TMUS' recent quarter was a one-off, resulting mostly from cannibalization of prepaid. Although Legere promised T-Mobile's impressive successes in the second quarter were not "a blip," some consider them just that: "TBR believes T-Mobile will not be able to sustain this level of production from its postpaid segment in 2H13 once the initial demand for the Simple Choice plans dies down," wrote TBR's Costa. Costa also pointed out that much of T-Mobile's success on the postpaid side was at the expense of prepaid. Indeed, in T-Mobile's own quarterly SEC filing the carrier noted "the [prepaid] decreases were primarily a result of qualified upgrades of branded prepaid customers to branded postpaid plans as the Un-carrier strategy provides no annual service contract options to credit worthy customers that have historically been utilizing prepaid products."

    Don't know the history but it's losing so why should owner ship by one family matter? U.S. Cellular (NYSE:USM) continued on its trajectory over the last several quarters of selling smartphones and losing customers, as the Tier 2 carrier struggles to break out of a pattern that is seeing its subscriber base dwindle.

    The market cap is 3.67 bil. Doable.

    Buying us cellular.

    VoLTE != voice on 800. There will be LTE on 800 but that's only for data. Sprint had that HD voice on 1xA some time ago but it ???seems to only work if both Sprint subscribers are making calls connected to same vendors equipment??? so they stopped advertising if. Voice on 800 means 1xRTT on CDMA band 10.
  16. maximus1987/lou99
    Then it obviously doesn't belong here. It's not as if TMO affects sprint or anything.
  17. maximus1987/lou99
    Said the person replying to a thread titled "Tmobile LTE". So then let's delete this thread.
  18. maximus1987/lou99
    I'm sure you know more how to look for one than rest of us.
  19. maximus1987/lou99
    Why can't you find that data the same way you "found" the sprint data?
  20. maximus1987/lou99
    It will definitely be interesting to see their coverages July 2014. I'm just trying to learn why TMO has worse effective site density but mathematically, they should be killing it. A couple hundred still doesn't explain it. Someone said TMO's antennas are never on the top of the tower; would this affect propagation noticeably?
  21. maximus1987/lou99
    Are we still assuming TMO has 52k sites? We have transcripts from Humm saying "upgrading 37k sites, our current 3G/4g footprint, to LTE." Given that info, where is TMO hiding all their HSPA/LTE sites? They have a way high density SOMEWHERE. http://assets.fiercemarkets.com/public/mdano/amis/tmopres.pdf Slide 18, top left. The DAS asterisk is only applied to metro and newco so 52k means cell sites only.
  22. maximus1987/lou99
    The focus of my post was on the discrepancy in tower densities but thanks for the list.

  24. maximus1987/lou99
    Something's gotta give. How can TMO with 37k LTE/HSPA+ towers only cover 225 million yet sprint with 39k towers can cover 270 million with EVDO. Yes, CDMA propagation ... better than anything ... but not with an extra 2k towers.
