    Me. Damnit!

    Wow, they actually GAINED postpaid subs! Someone trolled us, that's for sure. Added 682K subs total, 58K net postpaid additions. So to go to the previous comments, apparently the market wasn't truly saturated yet and had some growth left in it since ALL tier 1 providers added subs.

    Again, if true, I can't believe they gave Hesse a new contract and no execs have been canned.
  4. Boosted20V
    If this is true and no heads roll Sprint is done.
  5. Boosted20V
    Agreed. That would be devastating.

    Sprint owns enough PCS spectrum in most markets to do so if it cannibalizes some EVDO/1x carriers.
  7. Boosted20V
    I understand but we know the ratio Sprint is using, correct?
  8. Boosted20V
    What is the theoretical max of a 20 MHz TDD carrier?

    To Hesse's credit, he wanted Metro but the board said "NO!".

    That' s a fallacious way of looking at it. Softbank could only (maybe) afford to finance that kind of debt while also having control of T-Mobile's revenue stream. That would have offset much of the debt.

    To go back to Robert's point, I don't think Son has made so much money buying high and selling low.

    I wonder what happens when people realize that T-Mo is pricing themselves out of the ability to keep up with infrastructure demands.... and the deal between S/T-Mo falls through. All those subs they "bought" to entice a buyer didn't end up getting the company much by way of revenue and now additional capex is necessary to keep up with demand.

    Nice looking ping. I was reading a post on HowardForums the other day where a user complained that their VZ 3G speeds were unusable at 1.8mb/s. How the times have changed.

    I think it's more because it circumvents their rules regarding existing customers.

    Insane IS insane! But seriously, I think many will be pleasantly surprised with how far along B41 is as more tri-band devices get sold/enabled.

    I disagree to an extent. All the capacity in the world won't help if it can't reach the handset. We've all seen how fragile LTE1900 is.
  17. Boosted20V
    To be honest, people can talk up the speeds of B41 but the real killer is 800mhz. When I get ubiquitous indoor LTE coverage that will be very satisfying!

    It does appear your average person can't be bothered to research both sides of an issue. Scary the things I've heard people take as fact from fringe "news" writers.

    I had this occur to me in areas when LTE was first coming live. Frustrating before I figured out how to get around it. It's as if it keeps attempting to connect to LTE and won't pass data through 3G.

    Don't look at Kevin Fitchard's article on it. That guy is quite butthurt.

    About everyone not seeing the discount initially... Has anyone who switched actually seen the proper discount yet? It appears to me that Sprint's billing system isn't yet set up to handle these plans. Since they're giving out credits to make bills right, I have to imagine they're rushing to get updates done to their billing system.

    Got an HTC One Max coming this week. Can't wait to see if there is any LTE800 live in Shentel areas.
  23. Boosted20V
    The yellow map looks to be their coverage with VZ roaming included.
  24. Boosted20V
    The latest update certainly bears that out!
  25. Boosted20V
    If Sprint/T-Mobile were required to divest large amounts of T-Mobile spectrum and the network back to Dish, customers could just "stay" on the current network, thus negating the whole point of the merger. I don't see how they create a real viable 4th contender without doing something similar to that as otherwise it would take quite a while for Dish to get services up and running even with tower leases and backhaul in place. I don't see the DOJ letting something get through that would be favorable enough to Softbank to warrant doing.
