Sprint Speeds Up Three More Cities

Where did you get that? I haven't seen numbers in a while and was curious.

Okay Okay for once and all, with the roaming agreement Sprint has w/ Alltel, Sprint dominates in EVDO coverage, w/out they are both @ 150 million each. Now sprint doesn't cap their data, and have much more offerings on their handset as far as capability with EVDO. So it beats out the red *cough*communist*cough* UI that yours phone rock with. 🤣 Verizon is a good company don't get me wrong, but we are happy to be number 3 and are proudly moving forward to diversify and set ourselves apart in the industry. No more my cell phone company is better than your malarky. Ya'll sound like 3 year olds. My daddy can beat up your daddy. All the time your saying this I am with your mom.

Verizon only cares about voice on their wireless business but they do care about data on their landline business. Too bad, if they were to put effort into prepaid and data on their wireless business they will actually be a threat to Sprint or to the other players, but they simply are not.

Sprint is a data and prepaid company and that is a very good mix especially with the products and solutions they are coming out with now and in the future.

What are you smoking?

If Verizon didn't care about wireless data, why did they pioneer 1xRTT and EVDO? Why did they have the largest network for data up until recently? Verizon doesnt invest frivilously which is one of the main reasons it's so successful, so if they didn't care about it why did they invest so much money into becoming the first company with true 3G technology.

Verizon isn't a threat to Sprint? You're right, it's not. We dont take those $150 deposit customers you take, and since a large portion your customers wind up being G-1000s with us, we don't want them anyway. The customers who pay thier bills and have good credit are mostly on Verizon anyway. Yes, that's a rash generalization and yes I know there are customers wi...

I do not care about 1Xrtt or beneath technologies like that, I care about 3G+ technologies being EV-DO and Wimax or other type of technology out there. So far, their EV-DO is less par then Sprint and less par than Cingular. The reason being, is because they are too ashamed of showing their EV-DO subscribers while Sprint does.

They also do not have any plans to go to 4G who cares about 3G, while Cingular and Sprint do with HSDPA and WIMAX respectively.

Verizon is not a threat to Sprint when it comes to prepaid and data, but obviously, with voice they are a huge threat not only to Sprint but also to the rest of the industry.

They have to slow down Boost’s growth is because there are capacity issues on the IDEN side, nonetheless, th...

Maybe you misunderstand what Nextel 18 is saying. Data is not Verizon's strength, voice is. Data is Sprint's strength. Verizon's EVDO rollout is more limited than Sprint's. Now with revision A Sprint differentiates themselves more from the pack. Verizon's core customer cares way more about voice than they do data or other services. When I sold Verizon it was much more difficult to sell data products than on Sprint. It's easier to sell T-Mobile data than Verizon. Sprint has the content and accesibility to make their data attractive. Face it, in the new technology rollout Sprint usually precedes Verizon, with the exception of rev.0.

Again, it does not matter since Sprint has many more subscribers than Verizon on their EV-DO network. VZ is too ashamed to even publish them while Sprint is happy too. 1.5 million Subscribers already and REV A is not even nationwide yet and the devices are not REV A yet. So much more potential. Oh yea, the joint venture will attract more data customers.

Out of what spotlight? VZ does not even have a good data product against Sprint. Who cares if they have REV O, A or B. they still wont win this data race. Frankly, Cingular and the other guys doing HSDPA will beat out Verizon.

VZ does not care too much about data on their wireless side as well as prepaid, but that is beside the point. They only care about voice.

VZW posted $1.6 billion in data revenue 3rd quarter, more than any carrier! VZW does care and puts a lot of focus on voice, however data isn't being ignored in the least, in fact data is the future of each carrier and they all know it.

Sprint just reported the highest data RPU (10% i believe) last quarter according to RCR, if I read it right. Regardless, Sprint still hold the highest RPU, period. That means while Verizon has a larger budget (with millions more subscribers I should hope so), Sprint is making a higher ammount per subscriber.

$10 is their data arpu.

Sprint will always have the highest data and voice ARPU (in both postpaid and prepaid) than anyone else in the industry.

I don’t care about the revenue because that can consist of their 1xrtt as well as their DO since they are too ashamed of their DO network because they don’t post their total subscribers, I can assume without looking at internals that most of that revenue is coming from 1xrtt.

Regardless of that, Sprint has the highest data ARPU in the industry and it is growing quite quickly and again they are not afraid to show their EV-DO network subscribers, while Verizon is that obviously means something.

Remember push to talk? None of the carriers were showing their numbers and why? Well simple, because they do not have a good showing.
