Major Cities Lacking

Nice of you to "promise" San Francisco some LTE coverage yet again Sprint.

You been promising this for 3+ years already. On top of this, 5 years ago you promised that we would have WiMAX working in my neighborhood - it still doesn't work. So I have a really hard time believing the "promises" at this point.

I mean at the end of the day, your 1900 LTE network doesnt work in my district, your 2.5 WiMAX doesnt work in my district, and you never deployed 800 CDMA or LTE in SF at all. So how are you planning to do this so rapidly if you are broke and not investing?

The definition of Promise to Sprint is just an interjection word much like huh, hey, or yo... or in these Sprint cases "promise" means... "one day it will happen, we promise,...
