They may have no legitimate value to you, but alas the world doesn't revolve around you.

Their customers put up with way, way too much!
Well Sprint scored higher in customer satisfaction than T-mobile in the latest ACSI study so maybe T-Mobile's customers put up with way, way too much...
Re: Homeless people rejoyce
:roll:
The problem with Clearwire's deployment was site density. With Network Vision, Sprint will have the ability to put 2.5GHz on every Sprint cell site, not to mention the possibility of small cells.
If you think the Clearwire spectrum is so worthless, why is that Sprint, SoftBank, Dish and Verizon Wireless have all shown interest in it?
Re: Oh Sprint.
Yeah I can only get 2 Mbps with my Sprint 3G service. What a shame...
At any rate though, you folks must not invest in the stock market. If you did, you probably would understand the concept of due diligence. Their BoD has a duty to the stockholders to consider any and all offers which may maximize shareholder value. To not at least look over and consider Dish's offer would be malfeasance.

Or maybe Apple decided to back down and offer more reasonable terms....
Highly doubtful.
Re: It's funny...
T Bone said:
Maybe it is not US Cellular who changed, maybe it's Apple who offered more reasonable terms......the originals terms Apple offered would have basically bankrupted US Cellular....
It's highly doubtful that Apple is the one that blinked when USCC is the one that's hurting.
And how do you know what the original terms were between Apple and USCC?
Re: New Bogeyman
marufio said:
Sprint has had too many Bogeymen, Im sure the end is near.
Yada, yada, yada. The uninformed have been saying that for years and yet here they are still.
Re: Interesting.
marufio said:
Sprint right now is in such a mess they clearly need something for they keep shooting themselves in the foot. You are right Sprint needs their clocked cleaned and then some all management should be shown the door. Ohh what a tangled web we weave. The government should step in and save Sprint from themselves by finding the best suitable match to buy them out. If they could stop ATT from buying Tmo then ...
Re: Still no mention of SD
carmodboy99 said:
Its been up here for about a month now, but maybe its better this way, right now I can pull 24Mbps near work and 12Mbps near home, on Sprint!!! Once they announce it, im sure they'll throttle it down to 6-8Mbps, The lamest speeds of all LTE networks.
Nah, they don't throttle. The 6-8 Mbps figures are their estimates based upon a fully loaded network. Under promise, over deliver. Besides, what can't you do on a smartphone with 6-8 ...
Re: Who is most interested in this real estate?
Assuming that their merger with metropcs gets approval from shareholders, t-mobile will also have "plenty" of spectrum. In fact, I believe that it's been mentioned hat they would have more spectrum per subscriber post-merger. There's no reason for them to get any preferential treatment.
Looks fierce
When can we expect a review? :D
Re: Leasing spectrum
Sorry dude, that just doesn't make sense.
Re: Leasing spectrum
jsd0108 said:
It isn't "fishy." Verizon is leasing out spectrum in areas where they don't have a license to operate which means they cant put their own towers there per government regulations.
That makes no sense whatsoever. If VZW has spectrum licenses in a certain area that they're willing to lease out then obviously they're licensed to operate in that area. Therefore, could put their own cell sites up in those areas, but they've apparently decided that it ...
Re: To be fair...
Pretty sure it was changed...
Re: To be fair...
Forgot link: http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cf m?article_id=2432
To be fair...
Sprint's press release states: major Chicago suburban areas, not Chicago proper.It also mentions that downtown Chicago is still forthcoming.

Time will tell...

3, Crown Castle is owned by DT,
8O Um, when did that come about?
Re: Where?
rwalford79 said:
Never even heard of half these places. Lawrence Kansas? Waukegan-Lake County? Barnstable-Hyannis/Mid-Cape? Why the hell is Sprint deploying LTE in places that people never even heard of?
Why is VZW? http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/09/ pr2012-09-19i.html
cause MOST customers, something like 95% of them still dont have 850ESMR capable phones to experience what Sprint has notoriously called "improved network performance" with the Network Vision deployment.
Really? What is your source for that figure? It's really grating when people pull made up statistics out of their ...
Re: Hey Rich
Tofuchong said:
t-Mobile has both 850 / 1900 Mhz spectrum for the 2G (EDGE) network that they were using.
/;| For the most part, no. T-Mobile has exactly ONE cellular (850MHz) license in the U.S. That's for CMA629 - South Carolina 5 - Georgetown. All of the rest of their licenses are either PCS (1900MHz) or AWS (1700/2100MHz).
Re: LTE
Not sure what this comment has to do with the article, but I hope they get LTE to you sooner rather than later.
Re: Where Did Century Tel Get Spectrum?
Jarahawk said:
Can someone explain exactly when and where Century Tel acquired this spectrum from? I thought they sold all their wireless assets to Alltel years ago to avoid a hostile takeover.
They sold those assets to Alltel in 2002.
They purchased AWS spectrum at auction in 2006.
They also bought 69 700MHz spectrum licenses at auction for $149M in 2008:

Re: Complete by the end of 2013
Tofuchong said:
I totally agree. The huge, huge downside of sprint this whole time has been their network, and how awful it is. Their CDMA call quality was through the floor, sounding like a tin can in outer space, and their data speeds have been awful.
Data speeds have been hit-or-miss, but Sprint's call quality has ALWAYS been top notch for me.
Re: Sprint seems to have the money
Highly doubt it...
Re: HD Voice
Error has been corrected.
HD Voice
The article mentions that the Evo 4G LTE requires LTE in order for HD Voice to work. Everything that I've read seems to say the exact opposite, that HD Voice has absolutely nothing to do with LTE, but rather 1x Advanced.
Re: Quality
island-guy said:
Are they already converted to 1x Advanced? This will be a decision maker for me come October.....Will 1x Advanced allow simultaneous data/talk as well?
No, 1x Advanced doesn't allow simultaneous data/talk. However, SVDO does and from the FCC docs it appears the the Evo LTE is SVDO enabled just like the LG Viper which indeed does simultaneous data/talk.
Re: What is TDD-LTE?
BigRed75 said:
Thanks Mr. Prusch
Kinda ironic coming from someone that promotes VZW at every given opportunity...
Re: What is TDD-LTE?
WarriorProphet said:
Slightly faster than TD-LTE and TDA-LTE but not quite true 4G like LTE-Advanced.
This is incorrect. TDD-LTE is the same as TD-LTE. TDD simply refers to time division duplex which is suitable for the unpaired spectrum that Clearwire has. What Clearwire will be deploying is 3GPP Release 10 a.k.a LTE Advanced or "true" 4G.

sp_5015 said:
I swear people are so stupid and uninformed...
Yes, yes they are unfortunately. :paranoid:
Re: do it yourself sprint
Um they are doing it themselves. They weren't and aren't outsourcing their LTE build to LightSquared. LightSquared was the one doing the outsourcing. They were going to pay Sprint to piggyback onto their Network Vision rollout.
Re: "and with an obsolete definition of "harmful interference"
How dare you interject facts and reality into the ridiculous hyperbole!
Re: When did...
Actually, if you click on the link to the article, it's quite clear to see that PhoneScoop did NOT directly "quote" Bloomberg.
When did...
Sprint give LightSquared money? I think you guys may have this one backwards. LightSquared was paying Sprint, $290M so far I believe.
Re: 30 Days.
Jayshmay said:
I don't know why Sprint always has to partner with other companies like Clear & Lightsquared, instead of just build out a nexgen wireless network themselves like every other wireless company?!!?
Um they are building out their own wireless network regardless of what happens with LightSquared.
Re: Wow
Most likely because they don't want to take Clearwire's debt onto their books.
Re: International PTT roaming
Thanks, BR. That's the point that I was trying to make.
International PTT roaming
Sprint also noted that it will begin to offer international PTT roaming in select countries starting in 2012.
That's not how I read the press release, but perhaps I missed something.
Re: Seriously?? Kyocera??
glinc said:
If one thing customers like about iden phones besides the DC is the loud speaker and good quality motorola iden phones. I don't know why they don't stick with moto instead of using this garbage company that makes crap phones.
There is a Motorola smartphone based on this new PTT technology coming called the Pax.
Re: Just 3G?
Nope, no 4G. This is more of a mid-range handset. It seems decent for the price.
