I live in Harrisburg and was curious on the timing for Shentel. They've publicly stated that the marjority of their towers will be upgraded in 2012 with the remaining in 2013. Seeing as this is one of the more populous areas within their service region, I was hoping it would be early. I wasn't sure however, seeing as they are based out of VA, and thought maybe they would concentrate on that area first. I'll be getting an EVO LTE soon, so I'll keep an eye out.

Shentel, a sprint affiliate, reported their earnings this morning. No real detail in their press release about their progress upgrading to NV but hopefully there's more info on their conference call. That's scheduled for 2pm EDT.

 

Here's the release:

For those that don't know, Shentel operates the towers in rural parts of western Virginia, West Virginia and MD. They sell service under the Sprint brand. In their previous earnings call they had stated that they would be upgrading all of their towers to NV starting this year. Hopefully there are some progress updates.

I'd just like to add that they cover a pretty large area of south-central PA as well.

Thanks, I was wondering when they were going to announce 1Q results. Odd they waited this long.

Thanks, I had already listened to their Q4 Investor Q&A session. Glad they worked out rights to use 800mhz spectrum. From what they stated, it sounds like they're starting sites/backhaul in 2012 and finishing up in 2013. I've been watching to see when they release their Q1 results but haven't seen anything yet.

Robert, I've been following this board for a long time and live in an area serviced by Shentel. Before I realized the area I live in is serviced by them, I always wondered why I saw no updates on network.sprint.com around my location. Do you have any information about their progress thus far with NV or is the documentation you have strictly tied to the areas serviced by Sprint?
