Future of Sprint and 800 MHz band (posts moved from Evo 3D forum)


Hmmm. Article is current, but vid in it is from Sep 2009.

It's new phone release time, so Sprint financials, the iPhone and WiMAX annual rumors are listed in our known set - http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d/335824-3devo-pre-release-miscellany.html#post2686068

;) :)

Note to all - please keep the temperature low and let's focus on the 800 MHz spectrum for this thread, cheers, thanks in advance.

PS - Good to see you again, eieio! :)

I just love rumors. Let us look at some facts.

debt due in the next 3 years 4billion
Cost to convert over to lte in the next 3 years 6 billion
Cost to keep clear wire afloat over the next 3 years 3 billion.

Total profit over the last few years 0.

Makes complete sense for them to build out lte when they can bearly afford wimax. and what is going to happen when they do build out lte, itwill perform just like wimax.

Yep, I have no doubt they are hoping Lightsquare comes through with cash, It will be interesting to see what the next Sprint financials look like with the $10 fee in there.

i just want sprint to hurry up and get the data connectivity more stable... and availalble.

their network is in disarray...
form day to day... area to area...
I understand they are working on it.. but it is killing me.

in Dallas ftworth texas area:
3G below 100kbs
4G not available at all..

/rant

Huh? I get plenty o' 4G love here in Foat Wuth.

really? I live in north ft worth...
3G is slow- somedays are 1MB.. some below 100kbs.
4G is 2MBs next to the window.

working in north irving.
when I am inside....
3G is below 50kbs
4G is no where

work in North Arlington
3G is 400-700kbs
4G is no where

there are areas of good speeds...

I am not asking for supper speeds.. just more workable constant speeds..
3G higher than 800kbs
4G just to find a stable connection with higher than 1.5mbs
with these speeds, it can at least be useful.
