Who puts more money into their Network?
why don't you learn some manners one and if you don't have anything nice to say say nothing! And then you should realize maybe 1% on here know for sure. And yes sprint put more money into their network last year then anyone from what I read.
My point is you can always find what you want if you look hard enough and you can probably find suncom put the most if you wanted to.

I've heard that Verizon puts an absurd amount of money into its network, like 6 billion a year, at least that's what a rep told me, but who knows, I'm pretty sure AT&T invests just as much...
...
The year prior to integrating the two networks, Cingular invested $6.3 billion in network expansion and I believe that has only increased every year since. At the same time Verizon had only been investing around $4.5 billion in network expansion per year.
...
Why do you think ATT is spending more? Does it take more GSM towers to cover the same CDMA area?
...
Yes, that is true...but at the same time GSM equipment is much cheaper to deploy as it is an open-standard and no royalties must be paid to companies like Qualcomm.
Quite honestly, I have no idea what AT&T is spending more.

at&t invests only $1billion a year but we use imigrant workers so the money goes 10 times as far.
...
that was pretty funny.
They all put so much money and I bet its a year to year thing. One year att another verizon and so on.

I read somewhere that verizon blocked a set of PRL lists which makes their roaming agreement worse now, hard anything about that?
...
don't know what you mean by blocked a set of list. Each carrier makes their own PRL list based off their roaming agreements with other carriers. I know them and alltel had a little so called falling out so I am not sure what impact that had. I know they still roam but they are farther on the priority list then they were!
...
it depends on how you define putting money into ones network....
if your talking about purchasing spectrum then verizon would be the winner there, they might not get as much spexctrum but they sure spend a lot on it, they always pay 2 or 3 times more for their spectrum..
ATT added the most cell towers in '06 and who knows who's done what so far this year..
but i can tell you this.....i don't doubt sprint is spending bucket loads of money right now trying to be the guinee pigs in a new wimax service.....

If it goes as planned and works as planned yes. But you know how the real world is and it may be the beginning of th end for sprint if it doesn't go well!
...
How do you think the general population will react to it?...or better said how will sprint get people excited about it? You think they'll use the same marketing team?
...
god I hope not!! But if people here 2-5 mbps unlimited for 40.00 to 50.00 a month people will jump on it. ANd if they can offer the VOIP voice over wimax and you can get unlimited voice calls for 50 a month nationwide people will also jump on that. So as I said if it works like they think it will it will make sprint huge. If not it will sink them for good I think!
...
I wonder if there is enough data centric users out there currently for this to make a huge impact on Sprint.(most American users still want a free flip) It seems that even if wimax turns out to be wonderful that sprints other hurtles might harm their success. Whatever the outcome be it will be fun to watch it unfold.

from VZW site:
Verizon Wireless has invested more than $40 billion since the company was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services.
So that is around 5.3 bil a year.
I am not finding info regarding network testing or investments on sprint or AT&T site.
I do like while I was looking at sprints site that the company history stops at 2001 ;)
