These stories exist because Sprint didn't rush out and buy more ... (IMO)
They chose to invest in what they have...only time will tell if it works out.
Could Be. Hopefully as they shut down the iDen/Nextel network, they are able to seamlessly add that spectrum to the Sprint side of the network. Adding a second 5x5 LTE carrier will be great... Especially since it will be in the 800mhz band.

Ok did they seriously say that birds are causing issues with LTE? OMG! Also 1 billion dollars in losses for one quarter, OUCH!. I don't see how anyone would invest in this company. I see they added nearly half a million subscribers though. That's not too shabby although I don't track these kind of stats to know how that measures up to other telecoms.

To be fair, it's migratory birds that are nesting in their LTE towers preventing upgrade work from being completed. No word on bird species, but since many migratory birds enjoy some form of protection (even common ones), it doesn't surprise me that they'll have to wait for them to leave to finish. Wouldn't want the birds getting angry, now would we?

Not sure where they get the money flow isn't in the positive direction part. I can't say more until I know what is and isn't proprietary in what I just read internally...bit that article is definitely skewed
